However, because this particular firmware won't allow any TFTP transfers over a meg I cannot find a solution. The decstation has ethernet and has a floppy drive. I would appreciate any directions someone could give me on how to solve the problem of installing Linux on it. Additionally, if someone has a linux box that uses a mips processor and would care to sell it to me I would love to buy it from you if I cannot get mine working. It is for an assembly class at Winthrop Uni (www.winthrop.edu) Thanks, Justin Pauley
