I'm happy to say the kernel Leo sent me works! i managed to go through
the entire installation procedure without a problem. I had just finished
repartitioning my disk (with ICD) prior to the installation. I didn't
install "icdboot.sys" on the disk though (probably not a good idea since
this caused minor havoc later on).
the installation was actuall easy & went smooth. everything appears to
work fine, though i haven't tried an awful lot yet. I did notice that
the 'ps' utiliity is reporting wierd things:
% ps
proc size mismatch (8424 total, 644 chunks)
anyone know what this means?
