I'll look > into why that is, but for now it installs. I found out why. It was for the same reason that everyone else has problems, and it's due to the memory sizing being wrong. Once I set it to the correct size, the box has been *ROCK SOLID*. I am *VERY* pleased with this box. It's faster than my 300Mhz box for compiles (the laptop has a 366Mhz chip), although for disk I/O SCSI still kicks it's butt. The only issue I have left is to get the CardBus code working in PCMCIA mode. I've got it hacked to have my 3Com card working with the zp driver, but it's very fragile, and I need to make it work with regular PCMCIA support. In short, it's highly recommended, and will be even more recommended once I get the CardBus stuff figured out.
