I've stuffed a kernel onto the box by brute force (i.e. stuck the 5.0-release CD in and installed 'base'). It boots, though I'll have to rebuild my passwd file and various other things that were overwritten. (At the risk of restarting this old flamewar -- GEE it'd be nice if we broke up them distributions into packages. :-) I'm rebuilding now with DDB (which I could've SWORN I had in there -- doh!) and will post the results. With my luck, this is a heisenbug that disappears once the tools are in place to observe it. *grin* -Cliff L. Biffle
