I hope this makes it back to you in time : I'm running my second install with these (actually 7am ??) images. Very close! FTP install is still looking for <set>.tgz, and hangs if it doesn't find it. (ie. FTP sites with <set>.xx break it) FTP's to nonfunctioning hosts now time out OK, this is good 8) In the post-install configuration, there's a menu (with NFS client/server options on it) that is remeniscent of the old options menu - items that should have [X] fields but dont. If you nominate to be an NFS server, the install starts vi on /etc/exports, but it comes up on the debug screen and you can't type to it. > If you run into any serious walls with this installation then I > want to hear about it ASAP!

Try entering a clock value, nominate that clock time is wall time, then say that you're in South Australia. The 'is this OK' time will be a few hours earlier than the time that you've entered. I can't speak for other locations, as I haven't been travelling all that much the last few days 8) > I do think you'll find this revision of the install floppies to be > quite a bit more robust than the first set! Indeed. _PLEASE_ fix the FTP install to handle <550 File not found> messages 8) (another install just hung 8( ) > Thanks!
