I didn't have a username/passwd in the fields, but I have noticed the 6 files on the server. I was on Mandrake 8.0 fwiw, so I just downloaded and burned the ISO's to 8.1 and installed it. Much better... :)
On another topic, why aren't things like 'nslookup' installed automatically? What package do I need to put on there to get that very useful little utility? Is this part of the DNS stuff?
