Hi Ben Yep, I have the Bootdisk I made during install, I will give it a go, the problem is that the system does not appear to be able to load the Kernel, as the bootdisk is Linux based, I doubt it will work.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will give it a go tonight. -----Original Message----- From: Ben de Luca [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 3 October 2002 12:44 PM To: Brett Olsen Subject: Re: [SLUG] Redhat 7.3, 8.0 & P4 2.5 gig, any ideas ? insert the boot disk you made when you installed redhat.
