I'm using Debian 1.3, and had to build a custom boot disk because the probing in the regular install boot disk would somehow touch the Adaptec SCSI controller and reboot the PC. This was actually very easy to do using another Linux machine. The custom kernel and instructions are at: ftp://ftp.phys.ocean.dal.ca/users/rhogee/Debian/ Beware, my CDROM is not SCSI so I did not compile that in. -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maurice Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.
