I can see that now as I installed it on a small 4.3 gig hd by itself. It was
a very smooth and uncomplicated install. My problem now is admin access from
the other linux box. The connection dies almost immediately, I'm not sure if
that is due to the fact that Bastille is installed on that box also or if I
do not have some network interfaces set right. I seem to have a problem with
networking and things like samba. Can't seem to get them to work just right.
Is there a man or howto for SNF yet or just what is available on the cd. Oh,
it is a download from the internet. If I can get it working I will by the
official version to get the manuals and to keep LM library of Distros
complete. Father's Day got me the power pack deluxe 8.0 so now I have all
starting at 7.0. The growth of LM has been a wonder to see in just a little
over a year. So, any help getting my other box to talk to SNF? TIA
