Thanks alot, that took care of that. The install.txt on the iso images, under tips for serial console users, says you can use boot -h at the prompt after hitting the space bar. I know this worked in 4.5 -R, but it certainly does not now. I will keep better track of the handbook from now on : ) Corey Snow wrote: >On 16 Jun 2002, at 21:00, Randall Creighton wrote: > > > >>Hello, >>can anybody confirm a problem I'm having with 4.6 Release.
