I'm going to give it a try, I installed a 120Gb HD and Suse9.2 earlier today and I took the Nova-T out of the main frontend/backend[1], the trouble is that I can't afford major downtime on the main box as the g/f would not be happy! At least with a separate machine I can play with no fear of killing the entire thing, It's got 2.6.8-24-default atm but I'll see what apt comes up with and install 2.6.10 if needed. Thanks Druid [1] A lot harder than it sounds given that it's a Pundit-R and *very* tight[2] in there [2] As in I had to cut the case and both cards touch the side!
