Well, I kinda just did, in the previous post/mail. But if you want I can describe it. It's a Serverworks III LE machine with the NIC on the motherboard, and a long time ago I installed what was lenny/sid back then, I think. Had some problems with it, but nothing major, then with a recent upgrade it stopped working, and new kernels wouldn't work either, just re-boot/reset. So now I have managed to install stable/lenny on it, from
scratch. I saved all the data, home and etc on another disc for later use. I guess I'll use e100 from now on, but back then when it was not workingproperly, the e100 was installed with the default kernel. Yesterday I complied my own kernel so now I'm doing the finishing touches on the system. This server is a SMP/Dual P3 with 768MB RAM and will be used as a ftp, ssh, apache (very little, mysql and a few others.
Let me know if you need more info. ;) Mat
