If you can get it to boot... 5.x seems to be a bit picky about what machines it can be booted on. For example, on our HP Netserver LH Pro, that's a no-go (4.x installed fine, though). I've heard other reports, especially notebooks, where installing 5.x was still a bit on the rough edge (or plainly not working.) -- Matthias Buelow; mkb@{mukappabeta.de,informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de} ``Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.'' -- William of Ockham (~1285-1349, "Occam's Razor")
