I noticing that now. Once the install is done and you have the IP address, heck, you don't need a monitor for much of anything it appears. I even found a console so one can type in things to do. I wonder, could one install the LVM stuff and use that? That would be interesting. I wonder if there is a NAS software that uses LVM instead. Interesting thought. I just may go bug google on that one. o_O The network card is getting closer. May be here tomorrow. Maybe. One can never really tell about these things. Dale :-) :-)
