Congrrats. I have a proliant 800 with a pii 400. It has been a very solid machine. > It simply ignores the floppy or CD and start booting from disk. Sounds like a problem in the "bios", which afaik is contained wholly in the f10 partition. You might have to restore this partition before you can do anything. > Even the setup utility (F10) results in a message: 'System partition > utilities not available on this system' You will probably have to get the floppy image files from the www (it has been a long time since I have needed to do this). These are bootable images I think, and will lead you through the procedure. > Does anyone have information on onstalling Debian on this system or > pointers to good info? The following url should have what you are looking for. The name of the guy I talked to at compaq was Richard Black. He put a bunch of info on the www concerning installing on proliant servers. http://www.google.com/search?q=%22richard+black%22+compaq+proliant I hope this points you in the right direction. rdc -- |=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|=| Robert D.
