thanks for the help with getting mol running. i realised I was mapping the wrong partition (doh!). I had no sucess with the 2.2.18 kernel but the 2.4.2 kernel, the ethernet update ROM and the latest mol works beautifully. full screen, 32 bit color, great sound...i had no idea it would run so smoothly. now I see what the fuss has been about. I couldn't get it running full screen console mode without losing the mouse, although for my purposes, video in X is fast enough now. thanks again. joss -- http://www.josswinn.org -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GPA/ED$/GH d- s+:+ a- C+(++) UL P L++ E-(E) W++ N+ o?
