FWIW, If I select ramdisk0 install instead of the default, it seems to come up
OK using the root diskette.

I am doing a clean install on a 486 w/20Meg and Buslogic SCSI w/3 400MB drives.
Booting from floppy (resc1440.bin) looks ok until it tries to mount the RAMDISK:
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
invalid compressed format (err=2) [MS-DOS FS Rel. 12, FAT
0,check=n,conv=b,uid=0,gid-0,umask=0
As you suggested (THANK YOU), Marcus, I got 0.4.2c and it correctly
detects size of memory on soundcard:
AWE32-0.4.2c (RAM4096k)
Install was trivial, identical to 0.3.3e in the awe-drv package, just an
install.sh script to call and then rebuild the kernel (of course every
step is explained)

Alright, after being flamed to a crisp...
I realize I shoudln't have sent that message to the list, perhaps
a brief snip and a pointer to it at most would have been appropriate.
I'm sorry for the wasted bandwidth; it won't happen again.

Hi!
I have a little problem with ip_masq.
It's allmost working ... clients on the network can access hosts outside
the LAN if they type the hosts ip instead of the domainname. I can access

Such functions as bar charts, pie charts, scatter plots, line charts,
