I wanted to thank everyone on nekochan- your board has helped me:

-Repair a blinking red light on an octane
-Unpack install data form CD-rom's / CD-images
-Learn to netboot with DINA
-Format with fx (Okay so its not that bad, but the boot command over network was just a bit cryptic_)
-Install IRIX and nekoware (oh how I love ze nekoware packages!)
-Remove passwords from hardware
-And tons of other bits of information


Thank you all- the search function on this forum is freaking awesome.
I have wanted one of these systems for years and finally broke down and bought a couple.... now I want more.

That's the expected outcome of being exposed to fine hardware, and nothing to be ashamed or afraid of. :mrgreen:

Welcome. Yes, I caught the bug too. I only came here for the Indy lulz, and now I'm busy pimping out a Fuel, and I have this strange urge for a Tezro.
