No, but it worked. I was trying to get 4.5 on a laptop (a pentium mmx) and the 4.5-release loader couldn't uncompress the kernel.gz on the 4.5-R kern.flp; 4.4-R and 5DP1 both worked fine. In the end I used the last working bootdisk I wound up with (4.4) and the working mfsroot disk I had (4.5) and it worked sufficiently to get sysinstall completed. -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287088 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 RFC822 jan.grant@bris.ac.uk Ever see something and think, "I've gotta leverage me some of that?"
