But before I do, let me argue that it's not the (il, local) prompt, it's the five or six prompts for local IP address, mask, gateway, fileserver and auth server addresses.

Hm, the other possibility may be the floppy drive, I know some of them are dicky, but I can never remember which, or how :-( ++L
