Yup, it is working fine..

I tried a nfs install last night and at first it would not work. I then found a
message on one of the virtual install consoles that said something like reverse
name lookup failed. As I was not running dns I just put an entry for the new
system into the hosts file of the nfs server and it saw the light. The install
is now completed and working fine.
Thanks to all those who offered ideas.
Next on the list is to try to install the Sparc version I have downloaded onto
my Sparc 2+. It does not have a floppy drive so that adds another challenge.

Regards,
Chris Griffin
