I have tried BOTH 1549 and 1586, with differing results.
If you want, you can log into the 1586 setup via SSH at: bigjohnnovack.dyndns.org and have a look around Same with the https Note the error messages when viewing the status and about pages. They both point to the box in question, an HPt5710 with 512K of ram and a 4 Gig CF "Hitachi MicroDrive" This is "as installed" with default user names and passwords. Feel free to change whatever, as this is strictly a test bed. Note also the error message I posted previously, during boot time, which you can't see. mounting /dev/loop1 on mnt/asturw failed invalid argument This leads me to believe there is some typo in the run.conf , but I can't see it!

The generic i586 image? Correct. The Thin Client has a PS/2 keyboard and VGA monitor, so that works best. I have another T5710 using the .4.8.0 distribution that seems to work fine, except for the php anomalies I referenced last week. Thanks for any light you can shed on this.
