I rebuilt the former BCS web server yesterday with red Hat 4.0 (Because 
of net problems I had to use CD Rom). While we wasted a good portion of 
the day on Network cards, I did not start the real installation until 
late.

1 problem is with telnet, rlogin. etc. It gives me a message that I am 
out of ptys, which means I have to make the trip up to Lowell tomorrow. 

The other problem is that the install failed when trying to update the 
MBR, so I am still working with Linux on a diskette. 

I have seen both before, and I just don't remember how I got around it.
The PTY problem is the most serious for me since the server is mostly 
administered from home.
