Thanks. I really should block yahoo completely, only get spam from [EMAIL

Thanks to everybody. etch is working on 850/860. An yes, ia64 is itanium, not
EM64T like the DELL 850/860 are, my fault - perhaps this is the reason why its
not a bootable image ;)
Etch is looking more like a desktop as a server OS, isnt it? on sarge only the
minimum is selected and installed, eg. ssh server but no GUI. On etch i had to
deselect the desktop environment, standard system i left selected, thought its
a must have.
my dell PE 860 has a Intel DualCore Xeon with hyper-threading, my Dell PE 850
only has a Intel P4 with HT. On both i only see two processors (for sure, the
dualcore has two physical core, P4 only one physical and one logical). Why i
dont see four cores on my DualCore? DO i need a special kernel-image or
something?
Thanks!
Ben
