By the way, the STI console works quite well on the 715/80, if you have a suitable monitor. > 1 DB15 joystick extension cable ~AUI ( from cablesnmor ) Hmm.. Glad this works. I thought the specs said you should never run a cable between the transceiver and the AUI port. Just plug the transceiver directly on to the back of the machine. > Device Path Device Type > --------- ---------- > scsi.2.0 TOSHIBA CD-ROM .... > > So set your boot path. > path pri scsi.2.0 > > And boot! > boot You can just 'boot scsi.2.0', instead of changing your primary path.

'apt-get install build-essential' to install all of the development tools if you're going to build packages.

The kernel will just panic at the end of the boot process. cheers Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
