Nope - just installed from netboot/nfs, no hassles at all.

I've just copied the libs from a Solaris 7 box into /emul/svr4 and now i'm
using the Solaris version of 4.76 - seems pretty good so far.

I've never used the 110, but the 170 is certainly much faster than the old
70's and 85's. :-)

It appears they are. Could you point me to where this documentation is and I
will fix it.

thanks,
