RE: tlug: Re: IPC Install

Hi,

Now I succeeded!! Installed some major components of RHL4.2 to the
IPC.  'linux serial' to 'SILO' prompt took me to the whole tour.
Very good.  Thanks a lot to John.

Now the question is how to remove the boot floppy....  I would like
the PROM prompt again.

Regards,
Ken Harada
