Hi- I downloaded the 4.0 iso image and installed it on my Sony 505TR. It went quite well. The only odd thing I had to do was ifconfig ep0 up when trying to get at the cdrom via nfs. The machine is nearly back to functional. There was one thing that surprised me and I hadn't noticed this in the RC series was that xdm is trying to use XDM-AUTHENTICATION-1 by default and it failed miserably. I install XFree86 from within sysinstall (not the package). I had to add an entry: DisplayManager._0.authName: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 otherwise, I couldn't login ... I suppose that I could actually shoot for tougher security on xdm, but I have never had this happen to me before. Not sure what happened.
