Donkey's ages ago I tried to install a later release than was then running on a client's firewall. It booted off the CD but was no-go after. I put a full dmesg in a query to misc and tedu had a patch waiting for me when I got up next morning. I don't remember the grisly details but maybe he does. The client was mightily impressed and I remember sending some Aussie calendars etc to Ted. I wsh for your sake I remembered the cause of the problem. I could be persuaded it was to do with the model of CD drive but maybe old-timers is setting in. Good luck! *** NOTE *** Please DO NOT CC me. I <am> subscribed to the list.
