There was only one CD-ROM drive and my son was using
it for the Debian install. I've robbed it from him
and it is installing as i write this. Looks like it
is going to run all day. :)
2 more questions:
1. The docs say to use a certain kernel and if you
have trouble with it, use the SBC one. What's the
disadvantage of using the SBC one to begin with?
2. Not really a port question, but should be an easy
one to answer. I simply burned the CD with all the
files i had downloaded. However, the Mac doesn't
seem to know what to do with the .bin files, so i
had to use hfsutils as before and write those to a
floppy. I notice that hfsutils removes the .bin
extension. Does it convert the files in any way?
I suppose i could try copying them and removing the
.bin and see what happens, but it looks like it will
be several hours before i can try that.
Thanks again to all,
Charles
