Yup. Binary Fixed 80. Probably what worked for you in the past was a version other than Etch. I downloaded Sarge and it boots just fine. Sarge would work fine for what I am doing. From what I see, there are no iso's for it but only Jigdo files. I tried loading Jigdo but it was painfully slow. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
