It would be nice if we could get an ISO that we could burn and do such an install with the Debian MIPS. There is a port of Debian from a web site called BluePanel.Org that has a CD based installer for the X86 based RaQ's that installs Debian as well as their GUI control panel. I wonder how much effort/trouble it would be to build a similar beast for the Debian Mips/RaQ and RAq2 and Qubes? BTW Martin, we finally got our RaQ1-2's rolling with the MIPS OS, they run quick and no a peep out of them. We use them for DNS and use Webmin as a GUI for some tasks. They seem to run much better with 128 meg of ram as opposed to 64, just my 2¢. -- 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
