Hiya, Having got some more spare time, I have tried to see if I can get FC3 on this beast. It will run free bsd, but that does not have a multi processor kernal at present which means that it is very slow (it's a Quad processor model). I can get around the memory not being recognised but a CD Rom problem has me stumped now. The machine has a Scsi CD Rom and when I boot from CD, it looks like the CD is seen as a series of iso images rather than 1. The boot program runs so far, but then I get cannot find installation media and asks for the disk id. Any ideas? Rob
