No, I booted right from the cdrom. Forget floppies, as far as I am concerned they are now ancient history. I have not tried the RC3 iso yet as I have the systems up and running and am prepping them for the trade show. No time for foolin around right now. I did how ever just get 48 of our new "1U" systems which are going to be marketed as the DS10-L. I will be attempting to put FreeBSD on one of them tomorrow. I will let you know. I will go get the new ISO right now. Is it at the same path as the last one? by the way......if you want to see the new toy that I am talkig about take a look at the page that I am putting together right now: http://www.testdrive.compaq.com/slate -----Mike' -----Original Message----- From: Jordan K.

Thanks; have you had a chance to test the RC#3 Alpha ISO image I just put up? Did you also boot directly from the CD or use floppies?
