Hi, I have copied the two install floppies from the 4.0-current release but am getting errors during booting. The server sort of boots, but it looks like it is having trouble reading the floppy. The errors look like: "IDE command not successfully terminated" "IDE bad sector encountered or read unsuccessfull" Do I have a bad floppy drive, or is this release not supported on an Alpha server 800 (I read in an earlier mailing that is was). Many thank for any info, Andrew ------------ Dr Andrew Smith Computing Service, University of York, Heslington, York.
