I then used config and everything seemed fine until I rebooted and after the device probe I got this message: Can't exec /bin/sh for /etc/rc: no such file or directory Now it seems to me that I extracted enerything from bindist, but who knows. Not having any experience installing any type of *nixs what I need is a plan of action for booting and transfering the necessary files onto the HD (which BTW is a new conners 420 IDE in an old 33mhz 386 ISA MB). Whatever shoves in the right direction will be appreciated, but I hope I don't have to load all those floppies again! -- John Scharles johns@rain.org CIS 73125,333 Transcend the mind, then the mindseye becomes a precision instrument
