Hi,
I read this article and it was very helpful. Do you have similar articles for Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12) ?

Ah, yes; or simply quote the file names as follows:
fs=`echo "$line" | cut -f 1 -d':'`
fn=`echo "$line" | cut -f 2 -d':'`
# copy the file up to 10 times, preserving permissions
j=0;
while [ -f "$fn" -a $j -lt 10 ]; do
....
IFS also makes sense. Thanks for highlighting this rather serious error. I really should have taken the trouble to test this properly first!

Re: Laptop installation problem from jack [rjmayfield at satx.rr.com] in issue #164.
Whenever I have trouble booting a distro, I disable "quiet" and "splash" options, so I can see text indicating a problem, or at least telling me how far the boot got.
On our Dell C400, I boot by adding the boot options: noapic nolapic acpi=off vga=771
I've never met a distro that can't boot the C400 with those added.

P.S. If I sent to the wrong list, please enlighten me.
