I do have one PC I can take off-line, our voicemail server I guess. I am starting to really lean towards your method, I will putter around a little more this morning on Paul's method, though after ready some it seems his will not have IPTables? Or IPChains? Correct me if I am wrong. Does your kernel build at least allow firewalling? I can lock done telnet if that's the case, maybe tunnel in with webmin once it's up with their https. > >> I did read your how to and I just may have to go that route.

I will try this also, I am wondering if I should move the /nfsroot naming to boot or heaven forbid, use / as the mount :( since that is where the vmlinux.gz is sitting on the RaQ restore? Thanks again. I am really wanting the Raq2 to run Debian, we have someone else that has created a cd bootable RaQ3-4 install for debian at bluepanel.org which looks very viable for the Intel based raq's. -- David Thurman The Web Presence Group http://www.the-presence.com Web Development/E-Commerce/CMS/Hosting/Dedicated Servers 800-399-6441/309-679-0774
