Yes, you can submit bugs against the dfsbuild package. I have only my 164LX to test with, but it seems to work there. It's been awhile since I've booted that way, but I believe you can pass kernel parameters using aboot from the CD. Please determine what device you expect your CD-ROM drive to use, then pass parameters like this: initrd=opt/dfsruntime/initrd.dfs root=/dev/ram0 ide=nodma ramdisk_size=x dfscd=y Where ramdisk_size is the value given in /etc/aboot.conf on the CD and dfscd is your device. -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
