Well, I guess this step should be included in Martin's base image then; or at least a post-image-install step.

I now know what the MAC address is, nmap knows the Cobalt IANA allocation and that makes it easy to find :-) but it wasn't labelled on the case (it is now), and I couldn't find anything looking like an address chip inside. -jim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
