Good Evening Bill,
Thankyou for contacting me.
The "Strongbolt" is just an updated cobalt. running centos 3.6 a 2.4
kernel, and Bluequartz.
The install process is very tricky, and at present I do not have an
install cd. I might to get around to creating one at some point.
I sell complete units. I have only just started selling them and am not
sure whether or not it is going to be worthwhile continuing doing this at
present.
I am selling the standard Strongbolt (raq4R 512mb ram 40gb) for £250.00
currently.
The idea is to put some life back into these old boxes. They are still
good to serve sites for a few years yet I reckon. It is my opinion that
webhosting does not require super 3ghz servers, and massive harddrives.
Kind Regards
James

Bill,
I have spoken to the gentleman who purchased the strongbolt off ebay and he
says that it does work and its very good. There is one issues with adding
vsites but the guy as osoffice is sending him replacement hdds to sort it
out!
Basically there is no cd rom install or how-to available but he has got a
hard disk image that he is copying from disk to disk and putting them in
raqs with upgraded roms. Where the hdd image originated I don't know and I
don't think I'm close to succeeding.
I'm installing nuonce's bq-cd onto a hdd not rebooting at the end of the
install and the putting the hdd into a raq3i with 2.10.3 rom with ext3
support. I just get a kernel panic saying something bout a =init tag. I will
get the exact error in the morning and post it.
I'm kind of working on the instructions found at
http://www.gurulabs.com/ocontent/rhl-cobalt-howto/index.html but not
worrying about the kernel because if I boot from ROM it will be running a
kernel already capable of ext3 and suitable for the raq.
If anyone has any ideas please feel free to add them as I'm starting to get
to a bit of a dead end.
BUT, It is possible what ever anyone says! and there is another strongbolt
available on ebay at the moment. O, and the guy at osoffice will sell you
just a hdd for you to put in your own raq at a cost (of what I'm not sure).
Thanks
Jason
