Try ftp.redhat.com - that's where I got mine. :) : : Jordan I'm grabbing mine from gatekeeper.dec.com right now. It looks like there is a ECOFF program called loadlin.exe for Windows NT. The SRM console appears to have the traditional bootblock and that's all you get approach. And there are references to something new called AlphaBIOS which looks like the ARC BIOSes on the MIPS machines looked: more PC like. Will definitely have to look at this stuff, some of which has no source assocaited with it :-(. Warner
