After a wasted half-hour, I discovered that my (very old) Qube 2700 won't boot from a 40GB drive, so yes I suspect that there *are* some machines that have a non-helpful firmware; but I don't have enough spare IDE HDDs to test and find out where the size-cutoff comes. I have I/O Board 850-00102, BTW.
Anyway, I've happily installed the current Debian image from Martin's site onto the original 2.1GB disk, and it boots fine. It does exactly what's advertised on the webpage, and grabs an address from DHCP. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to actually *tell* me what address it has picked up; possibly the LCD should be able to display the current eth0 IP ... but I can't see it. Have I missed something here, or are my only options sniffing the DHCP traffic, or looking in the DHCP server db for recent acquisitions (and how do I know what my MAC address is, anyway?) -jim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
