[BlueOnyx:08519] Re: BlueOnyx 5108R released

[Richard Morgan]

Thank you Michael et al for your hard work... works wonderfully.

Just a few questions... all simple, I'm sure:

Is there anything different about admin for a 64bit system?  Not the GUI, I 
can see that's the same... I'm thinking of logging in to the shell.

The install process asked for the IP and the usual BX post-install script 
asked the same.  Is this normal or have I created a conflict by providing 
two different IPs?  (works OK though so I guess not).

Last one - which is so trivial I'm almost embarrassed to ask - any chance 
the CD tray opens at the end of install like it used to on early BX?  I only 
ask because I'll send the CD to the data centre I use and saying 'connect 
USB drive', 'put disk in' and 'take disk out' isn't as simply as it should 
be :o)

Anyway, thanks again.

Richard
