A few days ago, I subjected a well-running Potato Sparcstation 4 to this, and it did not work very well at all. It was a big Linux-style failure. I can still boot to multiuser mode and bring eth0 up manually and no files were lost. In a pinch, I could still use this machine, but it has _very_ nasty package problems. Unfortunately, I have not fixed it yet, as until soon, all I have is dialup, and it's just too slow to re-download lots of packages (or just install woody from scratch.) -- Jason Smith Linux and Unix University of Texas ECE-LRC Austin
