I am not touching my production machine, so grabbed a pentium/120, threw in a 700meg hard drive, put a 3com etherlink III 3c509 card in it and booted the BOOT disk. Got all the way to media, put FTP (I have a direct full-time connection) and then it said, "YOU HAVE SELECTED A SERIAL LINK." What the hell is that? Previous versions would ask how you wanted to install, you would select sl0 or ep0. This one assumes serial? How do I upgrade using my ethernet connection over the internet? (I tried to reply by email, but your reply address is bad) Is your network card being detected by the install? I had one of these helpfully moved by Win95 or some PnP stuff to an address and IRQ other than the factory default 0x300 and IRQ10 (which is where the boot floppy OS expects them to be). You can either reconfig the 3Com card using the DOS utility floppy that came with it, or boot the install floppy with -c and adjust the install kernel. -- ---------- Deborah Gronke Bennett (WD5HJH) kernel and device drivers engineer deborah@microunity.com (408)-734-8100 MicroUnity Systems Eng., 255 Caspian Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1015 USA
