I have a minimal 5.3 on the Armada on a 1Gb disk. I can connect the Armada to the net via PLIP if you want to poke around on an old system. I have no problem with that and with you having root on the box. It is just sitting here for testing to get 5.3 going so I can upgrade my other boxes as well. I use all these old laptops for a demo once a year that requires many laptops and the old ones are not targets of theft! The L100 is my main box at this point as my Mac iBook is out for repair, so I will give a new copy of the install floppies a dry run this weekend, but I can not wipe it for a new install that might not allow me to use my network cards until the Mac gets back from repair and I transfer my files over to it. If you want to give me something to try with the Armada that is fine as well. -Brett -- DRM is theft! We are the stakeholders! http://www.nyfairuse.org/
