Tim; Just a guess the syslinux version we use is too old...? I may have been unprecise: I know how to add the additional GB to a leaf box, what I'm still trying to figure out, is "for what?"/"how can I use that much space?". LEAF is too small for such devices :) kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why?
