The only problem is all we have are is a 486DX-4 100mhz (that for some reason wont install the distribution, the thing just sits after declaring how much swap space it has. Is there a FIX to this? We also have a 486 DX-2 for a file server, scsi, that configures pretty well. thats just chillin out right now. Another 486 DX-2 that keeps acting up, its our terminal, if we make it there. And this 486DX4-150 that causing grief, i am led to believe that this ati 3d rage that i had to literally force to display is causing the problem. IS there a trick to initially installing the distribution???? WE have 10 hours remaining to get this done. Its 3:30 am, wrong 4:00 On Tue, 10 Apr 2001, Eric Dorman wrote: > Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 00:51:41 -0700 > From: Eric Dorman > Reply-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu > To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu > Subject: Re: [9fans] Some more help > > Dave Iafrate - CSCI/F1997 wrote: > > Could it be possibe that the system hangs upon rebootin the cpu server > > after setup becasue of the modified vgadb we made.
