Hi,

  We have a new machine we'd like to be installed as a private linux-athena
workstation, in our lab.

  It does not conform exactly to Athena specs, but all components are
linux-compatible (the machine has Red Hat installed already).

  It is a Pentium 4 based machine, which means, I've gathered, that
installation might be a little bit involved ... since the installer itself
hasn't been updated to Athena 9.0, and the updater for the older versions
of linux-athena couldn't handle Pentium 4's.

  Can someone help us get this system going Wednesday or Thursday?
(Despite these issues?)


  Thanks!

  - Miles Shuman
