> I just need to know right now how well it works on *your* machine! :-) It works on my machine! It is up and running right now, in fact. This is a 25Mhz 386 w/4Mb of RAM, WD1007V ESDI controller, Addtron NE2000 clone, Orchid SVGA (1Mb VRAM, ET4000-based). While generally most fun and outstanding, I do have three comments: 1) After you select your timezone with the CMOS clock == wall clock, and it asks you to verify your local time, the time it gives is not correct. Finally, you just have to lie to it and say that it is correct, and after the system reboots from the hard drive, things seem OK. 2) I didn't get all of the distributions that I asked for. Not sure why, but XFree86 didn't come over. 3) When you ask the post-install configuration to get more packages, it just looks for a CD-ROM. It doesn't seem to be able to do the FTP/NFS options that the rest of the install can do. This is probably not a quick fix, and is probably already on your list, but I thought I'd mention it. Excellent work! Good stuff! John Lind, Starfire Consulting Services E-mail: john@starfire.MN.ORG USnail: PO Box 17247, Mpls MN 55417
