It wouldnt' allow any telnet or ftp sessions and unfortunately, the last kernel I built for it wouldn't allow anyone to use the console keyboard either. So basically, I have to boot off floppy for the time being, right? Wrong. It won't recognize a floppy. I've made up new boot floppies and used the original ones from when I first downloaded everything. Here's what it does: I'll turn the computer off and put a boot floppy in. It'll start up like it's doing just fine but once it looks like it's reading drive A: it switches over to the hard drive and boots from it and I'm back where I started. I've checked all the hardware and nothing is broken. Any Ideas? -Greg
