Hi Jose,

I've had a go at installing into anex2 partition - stalled, spun crashed and
died! It will run fine in the DOS partition (except for this password
thing). I have installed the SRV (which contains SAMBA) addition - but I
don't configure SAMBA, just smbl and that works fine. The other odd thing I
get is a message that inetd is running too fast and has been stopped for
five minutes - but the box still prints to the printer?

Sounds like you have had a good celebration! Personally I find the two raw
eggs, Angostura's bitters, 2 tablespoons of Hot Sauce and a large slug of
brandy does the trick for me. It doesn't help the headache at all - but the
queasy stomach takes your mind off it!

Cheers,

Alistair
