Thought I would pass on an update. I found an old laptop that I had been raiding for parts that just needed a new HDD to make it work as an acceptable server. After a trying time of both feisty and gutsy telling me that the processor was too old for the kernel, I finally managed to get the i386 kernel installed and working. Hopefully this will keep the leccy bill down a bit!! Thanks very much for all your suggestions and ideas. -Matt Daubney -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
