I hope this makes it back to you in time : I'm running my second install with these (actually 7am ??) images. Very close! FTP install is still looking for .tgz, and hangs if it doesn't find it. (ie. FTP sites with .xx break it) FTP's to nonfunctioning hosts now time out OK, this is good 8) In the post-install configuration, there's a menu (with NFS client/server options on it) that is remeniscent of the old options menu - items that should have [X] fields but dont. If you nominate to be an NFS server, the install starts vi on /etc/exports, but it comes up on the debug screen and you can't type to it. > If you run into any serious walls with this installation then I > want to hear about it ASAP!

Try entering a clock value, nominate that clock time is wall time, then say that you're in South Australia. The 'is this OK' time will be a few hours earlier than the time that you've entered. I can't speak for other locations, as I haven't been travelling all that much the last few days 8) > I do think you'll find this revision of the install floppies to be > quite a bit more robust than the first set! Indeed. _PLEASE_ fix the FTP install to handle <550 File not found> messages 8) (another install just hung 8( ) > Thanks!
