Hello all, I fixed my first problem of constantly rebooting.

The problem now is it goes a step farther and says:
"Fatal Error Opening RMPS Database", and then ends up 
rebooting again after I tell it to try again.

I had downloaded the whole i386 directory from 
ftp.cc.gatech.edu with the get i386.tar.gz command.

The original problem appears to be because WinZip untarred
the thing and added CR/LFs to whereever there were LFs.

I don't know what is causing this problem, and I didn't see anything
applicable in the mailing list archives.

Any help is greatly appreciated.


Thank you,
Clint
