uname -a: 2.6.7 kernel Date: 20 July 2004 circa 10am BST Method: Installed BootX 1.2.2 from http://penguinppc.org/projects/bootx/ copied 2.6 initrd.gz and vmlinuz from d-i CD to "Linux Kernels" in the MacOS System Folder Configured Bootx to boot from the RamDisk (initrd.gz in the System Folder) and hey presto the sarge installer appeared ;) This didn't work in tc1 - so well done guys!

If I can get a driver for the ethernet card then I can test out all the other wonderful stuff ;) I messed around trying to detect the drivers from the tc1 CD but that didn't get me anywhere Thanks Clive -- http://www.clivemenzies.co.uk strategies for business -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
