I guess I didn't answer the question about the base disks. They are a gzip-compressed tar archive taken from the file base1_3.tgz (also available on our FTP archive).

The base disks are created by the scripts in the boot-floppies package. You can install that and study the stuff in /usr/src/boot-floppies. For 1.3, you should generally only need the "rescue" floppy if you can get the rest of the FTP archive off of a hard disk, NFS, or CD. The rescue floppy is an

Re: Quantum Fireball EIDE uncooperative

Jason, I have Seagate and Quantum scsi disks, ~1G each. One of them, I'm pretty sure it's the Quantum, spins up then down again during disk/scsi identification. I don't consider it defective--I'm assuming that the driver is exercising capabilities that the disk has. It spins up again a bit late

chooser for xdm ?

I have some problem to setup xdm. By default, chooser should startup first, display a list of hosts, then runs xlogin. But now it directly goes into login display. I have no problem when running chooser when login and run /usr/lib/X11/xdm/chooser. The file /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess looks like:
