Linux comes up with this message : [quote] Branching to kernel entry point 0x00100000. If this is the last message you see, you may need to switch your console. This is a common symptom -- search the FAQ and mailing list at parisc-linux.org [unquote] Which then in fact is the last message I see..... So off course I'm really looking forward to getting the hint that makes my monitor alive - my plans are to install debian linux i386 on a pc today - maybe I'll then come closer to the solution :-) I really think that computing hasn't been >this< fun for a lot of years :-) As to the version number I'm not really sure, it is the last edition "woody" the prompt says : "Debian GNU/Linux 3.0" suppose it's version 2.2.3.0 ?? > B.Douglas Hilton : Please keep me posted if/when you get your C200 gfx up and running - I'll off course do the same :-) Happy Computing ! /Henning.
