-> Stock kernel won't work. See http://oss.sgi.com/mips/mips-howto.html -> for how to get the latest MIPS kernel. Well I don't know how stock it is anymore. Over the last two weeks I made changes to about 139 files and had to add in another 116. %*O I just downloaded the 2.4.3 kernel from the MIPS Inc. site so I'll have a look at it. -> Is /bin/sh bash at all? -> -> Ralf -> I'll double check it. I think it was aliased, or maybe softlinked, but I'm currently running NT so I'll have to reboot to get back to the Linux side and see. Keith
