I'm happy to boot it under the emulator and poke around. Do you have a URL to the install ISO you tried? A quick google found: http://mirror.leaseweb.com/debian-cdimage/archive/4.0_r8/sparc/iso-cd/ Which has a 19-part iso image install. *boggle* (Reminds me of installing OS/2 from floppies...) Possibly the "netinst" one...? Right, I'll give it a whirl. Thanks, Rob -- Latency is more important than throughput. It's that simple. - Linus Torvalds
