I finally got my 20020321 system booted by changing the cdroms and unplugging the floppy drive. Who knows why. Anyway: I boot up fine, but I can't find instructions anywhere on loading the system right onto a partition and booting from it. Is this possible yet??? Also; Jake: I know you have a lot on your mind, but making the /etc load on to a RAM drive or symbolically linking files like; /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/ssh/sshd_config; /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key* to /var/etc would make the system substantially more useable - you could get name resolution allowing more daemons to run. SSHD could generate its /var/etc/ssh/*host_key* on boot and you could get in remotely. =20 Let me know if I can contribute! Looking forward to the next version! Steve B.
