Yes. To perform an OS Restore, you put the CD into an x86 laptop or PC (with a single, compatible NIC and a single CD drive) that can boot from a CDROM (might require BIOS setting change to enable). So you cannot (currently) perform an OS Restore using a Macintosh, SPARC-based Sun machine, etc... Full directions on how to perform the restore appear on the laptop/PC screen once the license agreement is accepted. Full step-by-step directions are also in the archives (possibly for Cobalt-Users)... FYI - the OS Restore CD actually has a minimal Debian distro onboard that sets up the NFS exports, DHCP server, etc that the Cobalt firmware can "hook into" to transfer the scripts and files which restore the Cobalt to "factory fresh"... -- Bruce Timberlake Linux/Cobalt Technology Engineer Communications Market Area Sun Microsystems - San Diego, CA E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T: 877-718-3569 / x69369 _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
