Motorola Powerstack II works fine with sarge. The CD install method is not supported though, but the netboot install is needed. You need to download the <other-image>/powerpc/netboot/vmlinuz-prep.initrd, put it on your tftp server and netboot it with : boot enet:<server-ip>,vmlinuz-prep.initrd,<client-ip> Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
