Erik, Thanks for recommending those links to me (was a month or two ago)...
I was able to turn my "Helen Keller" machine into a tcp/ip machine and use ftp! Now if potato install didn't crash every time it scans the CD for index files... Also my woody iso's can't find the cd when I choose as install medium... Just ranting, sorry, Thanks again for the pointers! Lincoln On Thu, 2003-02-13 at 04:30, Erik C.J.
