just a quick note - the above mentioned system, a 745i/50, boots up fine with ``lifimage-2.4.20-pa32-20030322.gz'' over the network. it is basically a 725/50, just in a different enclosure with hp-ib support. if someone would tell me how to interrupt the debian-installer from coming up i could provide a dmesg or console log. [please cc: me on answers since i'm not on the list.] - paul
