It worked most excellent

okay that is the set of instructions i use and i manage no problem and my knowledge of linux is zip

have a play around with hyperterminal first to get used to it http://empeg.comms.net/php/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=faq&Number=14202&page=1&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=31&part= this is the FAQ link

i can't really give you any hints as to installing and setting up a network card but i managed so it can't be too difficult just hunt around the board for tips but i think the basics is to set up the addresses manually

Enjoy displayserver really is great once you get into it. For full effect install franks IR hacked kernal http://empeg.dyndns.org/empeg/ir_trans_kernel/1.03rc1/ which also lets you use one of the pioneer steering wheel remotes. This can be installed using tonys logo editior

Hope this is a help aslk around you will found this board very helpful and friendly
