UPDATE installing Debian on Cobalt Qube 2
Finally i convinced the qube to install lenny! Was on the last try i
gave it before removing it from my desk to free some place for my laptop
again, but first i had it to be assembled again, when i saw the
CMOS-battery...you know what's coming now, right ;) ?!?
I used a little paper strip to break the circuit between battery and
board, switched qube on and started hyperterm, entered the "netboot"
option, then choosed "NFS" to boot from and the serial console for
installation. All worked like it should do, IP-address was assigned
correct, CoLo v1.22 loaded without probs and there it went ...
Funniest thing is, the paper strip i used to "disconnect" the
CMOS-battery was from an asian fortune cookie i've got this weekend, it
says "You will soon have a windfall" :)

Next things to do:
- replace that f*cking CMOS-battery ASAP!!!
- install a quit fan
- maybe light the qube in a decent blue with a few LEDs if the behaviour
of the green LEDs aren't changed ;)
