Took lots of digging, but finially found a SRM bios for the thing. After that, things went much more smoothly. As it is, Debian setup aboot after installing. It works, I guess. Just don't reboot the machine remotely. :) I actually built a new kernel after a few tries. Mmm, speedy. :) I think it actualy runs Mozilla faster than my Athalon that has similar memory and scsi disks. I was going to bring it back into work today and try out that new kernel, but I forgot it. :( Also stuck on XFree 3 for the moment, XFree4 didn't want to fire up on a 3dlabs Permedia2. Once I'm done playing with this and have it usable, I still have the older 500a workstation to play with. Too bad the rest of the retired hardware shelf isn't so nice. Not much left but junk now.
