Will test3 have the advansys driver available? Not much good if its not there, and the installer won't go on by it. AFAIAC I can add the driver later as the only thing on the scsi bus is my tape drive, and the installer really should not waste a buck calling somebody who cares. Its an accessory, and one I SHOULD have the ability to bypass if its not available at boot time. In the back of my mind, I've been trying to envision all the steps it would take to make my own boot.iso, basicly by copying that disk off to a scratch dir on the HD, and replaceing the vmlinuz with the current one, and the initrd with something that works here. Unforch, I've NDI howto make an initrd, never having made one in the last 6 years of running linux, I either built it in, or used modules. But at this rate, I'm gonna have to hit someplace that peddles cdr's, my last 100 stack is down to about half an inch high now... -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
