I would love to try a sid daily build, but I don't know where they are. The daily build that I tried was what I *thought* was the latest netinst, from the debian-installer page: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-testing-powerpc-netinst.iso Do you have an ETA on etch beta2? I am happy to try anything. :) Thanks, Toni ------------------------------------------------------------------- Toni Harbaugh-Blackford [EMAIL PROTECTED] System Administrator Advanced Biomedical Computing Center (ABCC) National Cancer Institute Contractor - SAIC/Frederick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
