I wasn't able to run it at 1st, as the system kept locking up. Obviously this is memory orientated, 512mb seems to bet the absolute minimum. I booted using VESA mode and got a lot further, I can see the SDHC card with DDU tool and the GUI installer, but then I run out of memory again. Next I will try booting into text mode and use ssh -X to another box and run from there. All being well, I will then go out and buy some more memory :-) > > - Bar > > -- Bruce D Porter Technical Design Consultant Sun Microsystems bruce.d.porter at sun.com 0771 575 8954
