No, that is normal. The format (according to mknbi-linux man page is): client:server:gateway:netmask:hostname[:dev] -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Re: Another Grub question/problem
How do you start Linux via grub with frame buffer enabled? On a system with a Matrox video card, I have got it going fine (with Matrox FB driver). However, on this computer, where I need to use the VESA driver, nothing I have tried seems to work. At the moment I have: kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17 root=/dev/hda1 video=0x319 still haven't tried 2.2.18. The video= options seems to be completely ignored, and Linux boots up as if it wasn't there. -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
