Re: slink install messed up hamm partition



Hi, Brandon

Sorry I didn't see your message sooner.  What I ended up doing is reverting the
slink setserial back to the hamm one, and that took care of the problem.  I
think I'll leave well enough alone, but will save your message for a future
attempt.
Thanks
John B
