Actually, the installer doesn't use NTP at all (at least not yet). Setting up the clock just takes a while; I'm not sure what it does exactly, but NTP is not run. > One difficulty with such installs is the lack of feedback from the > machine while it is installing.

Generally, the installer tries to show progress bars and other information to show what's going on. Obviously, the nslu2 is much slower than other machines, so sometimes the progress might be slow. If you have any specific suggestions where you'd like to see more feedback, we might be able to put in another progress bar or make an existing one more fine grained. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
