I have tried to install debian 3.0r0 doing the following boot cdrom /boot/sparc64
then a scripts start and end with something to do with root the only thing diffrent is to my machine is it has 240GB of hard disks and DVD instead of a CDROM and 768MB of memory and normal on board graphics any ideas Peter Millard [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup
