Please _check_ the mailing list archive for solutions to this problem. (http://www.parisc-linux.org/mailing-lists/) Secondly, I would recommend that you contact one of the Unix admins from the Computer Science faculty at UWO (Scott Feeney, Magi, Bruce Richards) and drop your general Unix questions in their direction. It seems to me that many of your problems stem from not having experience with a general Unix environment. You might want to go here: http://www.linuxcare.com/linux-business/bookshelf/newbie.epl#0672315459 (and purchase one or two of these books, since they will be forever usefull!) Yes, that was a shameless Linuxcare plug ;) --- Usefull checklist of things: 1. Do you have /etc/rbootd.conf ? 2. Is rbootd.conf setup properly ? 3. Do you have a kernel in the proper directory ? /var/lib/rbootd ? 4. Permissions on the image ? 5. Is rbootd running ? 6. Did you pass the right parameters to rbootd on startup ? (rbootd -d /etc/rbootd.conf) Rbootd: ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/tgz/rbootd-2.0-2.tar.gz Ever patient, Carlos.
