How much memory do you have in that machine?? If you're running win98 and
have over 1gig ram, that can cause the problem! Win 98 will choke big time
when you get to much ram. Happened to me with 1.3 Gigs. reducing to less
than 1 G stopped the constant reboot.
Drove me nuts! RA
Forget everything I said about this. I was not doing the recovery in the proper manner (I'd never done one). I ended going back to square one and trying again and this time I deciphered the ASR recovery process correctly and it worked perfectly (and quickly).

Well, Stanley, you've really done it this time! I just went in to re->format my USB drive and instead of deleting the NTFS partition, I deleted both that and the EISA header! I now have a disk with absolutely nothing on it! Will I have to take this drive into someone to get a new disk header put on it or can I add an EISA header to it from my Windows machine?

What an idiot I am! I moved my backup to this EFG80 device via ftp. All I have to do is connect to it and ftp my backup back down to my Linux machine! Actually, I'd have already done it already, but I can't get back on my network. I'm REALLY back to square one! I went into YAST and started inetd, but that wasn't enough. I still can't get back on my network. I did a plain vanilla install, so do I need to get some additional packages installed before I can get this up and going? I tried simply doing -- Ping 192.168.1.77 (the ip address of my Linksys EFG80 where my backup is) It came back with "Network is unreachable". What do I need to do to get basic networking going again. My machines all connect via a Linksys 4 port Router. Thanks, Greg Wallace
