Ok! I got around this problem by hacking the pkg code (legacy.py) to recover from this problem. What happens is that it crashes when it tries to create a hard link and the file already exists. So I trapped this exception, removed the file and did the hard link. Now I've got a oi_148 install

Don't mean to hijack but Alan, do you off hand know if there is a video card that will work in a v40z? That thing has a very primitive/odd built in video card and sometimes I would like to do more than just ssh -X. It works fine in OI but the card is so slow it is painful to use as a console

The server has the following slots free so you could pick a card that is compatible. 4 full-length (133MHz) 64-bit vertical slots (slots 4 through 7) 1 full-length (100MHz) 64-bit vertical slot (slot 3) 1 half-length (100MHz) 64-bit vertical slot (slot 2) 1 half-length (66MHz) 64-bit horizontal s
