Work on Tuesday was a wash due to the ice. I did some at home hacking. Started looking at the XKernel problem. I got Xkernel working with my 386 box!! [XDM and all] I can drop the SUN350 off Friday or Saturday, so that you too can get the RUSH! If you can`t get it to work with your box, we can set it up with my 386 as a Fallback. It`s footprint is 10" by 18", front and side. If we go this route, I don`t plan on bringing a monitor for the 386. The XKernal distribution can be found on sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Network/boot.net/Linux-Xkernel-2.oa.tar.gz Also, since the MegaMeeting is April 1, that cut`s it close for exercising the fallback. I will just be getting to town from Vacation. [Eta on a Bike is difficult to ascertain]. Dan. "Long live tftp, down with reliability [heh heh]"
