The installation program is really ultracoolspiffyneato. Everyone should have one ;). It had some slight problems, though: the first time, I accidently started to install all the packages, so I aborted it, and it rebooted. After that, I tried to just go on to the rest of the configuration steps, but it wouldn't let me, because I had to install the system first (and before I could do that, I had to partition and lable the drive). Maybe if I'd read the documentation, I would have known how to bypass all that ;). It does have one problem, now. The system in question is a 486DX2-33 (what everyone else calls a 486DX2-66), with 8MBytes of RAM, about 400MBytes of disk on a 15xx of some sort, and with a CD-ROM drive. (And a monochrome monitor.) It's got an SMC WD8013EP ethernet card, and is about 8 inches away from my primary machine, connected via ethernet. When logged in to the 2.0.5 system from my 1.1++ system, there are periodic pauses. This seems to only happen when I'm logged in over the network, and doesn't happen on the console. It is almost exactly like what I see when I log into freefall from home or work, which I had been assuming was due to being far away over the network. Anyone have any ideas what's going on with that? But it is totally spiffy ;). Sean.
