  I'll put it on a list below 99 other things I need to know about linux!

  I hope so! Even X-box runs AmigaOS. I got the A1 to boot OS2.1,3.1.3.5 or
OS3.9 now! Oh where oh where is OS4 ? Latest rumour is -- Hyperion is
waiting for SNAP PPC (imbedded device) for porting to OS4. Getting close to
Beta testing time, huh?

 RL> When you're in a genuine FTP client, use the binary mode.

  Well found out that Mozilla doesn't handle very well, but Konqueror does!
I downloaded 'test.img' in Moz and it thought it was a link?  This file is

....dd if=test.img of=/dev/fd0 ...to the floppy to test flash rom. U-B00t:
] fdc boot 500000 0

Image Type: PowerPC U-Boot Standalone Program. (uncompressed)...

] bootm
OK

 Protection of sector 1 (fff10000):0
 Protection of sector 2 (fff20000):0
....
 Protection of sector 7 (fff70000):0

 The '0' tells you that it's unprotected and flashable rom. Last night we
had our fourth rolling blackout. I'm passing on the flash rom updates for
now! =:o

  Don't know! The current server is serial port and I get kernel panic at
bootup. This new one is suppossed to be USB port for my model. Another item
I'm trying to learn among 98 other linux things!

  I did, recently, "apt-get install ntpdate." Ntpdate & Ntp-simple
sychronize the system clock to internet. I used -- time.nits.org -- in
$server instead of 'time.usno.mil.' ..............
