So you are saying (implying) that i586 and k6 machines can use the 2008.0.beta2 |
| 8 |
minimum CD for installation? What about all of those old drivers that are often |
| 9 |
removed from the newer minimal CDs? This can lead to many false starts on the |
| 10 |
installation process. |

I've usually had to use 2006 CD for such installs: |

As these installs take a while, which I do not mind, but, having to |
| 17 |
make 3 or 4 stabs at the installation per machine, is painful. Every time I |
| 18 |
install one it takes 3 or 4 attempts to get things right. GNAP would |
| 19 |
be ideal, but it's not scheduled for a facelift until the "summer of coding" |
| 20 |
work is complete |

I'm only using the machines for minimal tasks such as primary/secondary |
| 23 |
name service, firewalls and small mail servers.... |
