Is this the case, or am I making a dumb mistake? And, if it really is true that they don't ship a starter diskless kernel anymore, does anyone have any idea of the rationale? (My working hypothesis is "in order to make Brian Rice's life a living hell," but, I dunno, I may be taking this a little personally.) I'll summarize e-mail responses if it turns out to look worthwhile. Brian Rice rice@dg-rtp.dg.com +1 919 248-6328 DG/UX Product Assurance Engineering Data General Corp., Research Triangle Park, N.C.
