Re: sid-amd64-netinst.iso install report
Hi Pete,
re LEDs: old box has 4 LEDS in a square pattern. three remain on and the
fourth flashes on with each ping to new box
New box has one orange and one yellow LED. Both remain on but orange LED
flickers OFF-ON-OFF-ON with each ping from old box. Mobo manual tells me
nothing about the LEDs... sorry I can't be more informative.
Yep, I can ping localhost OK.
my64:~# ping 127.0.0.1
