Re: [Vyatta-users] Compaq DL360 G1 - cpqarray
Ah! Success, it worked! The drives are getting detected as expected on boot and I can fdisk them and such. The problem is now the install! When I am promted ton what drive to install the software on, it does not contain any thing... I found the following drives on your system: Install the image on?

Other than the stuff Aubrey mentioned at the macro-feature level (firewall, VPN, NAT, etc.), we have also made extensive changes to the routing protocol codebase to include features such as VLANs and scalability enhancements and bug fixes. -- Dave ___ Vyatta-users mailing list Vyatta-users@mailman.vyatta.com http://mailman.vyatta.com/mailman/listinfo/vyatta-users

It's also an integrated system; you configure the entire router through the Vyatta interface, rather than running multiple programs and editing numerous and varied configuration files, all with different formats in entertaining locations.
