Hmmm....Doesn't seem to like AMD/VIA. I guess all you's with Athlons, etc. are SOL. :D

I may give it a shot when there's some RTL8139 support. I should be fine on everything else.

Thanks for the link, Vagrant. ;)

Ummm....I'm downloading the darwinx86-141.iso.gz right now. It's like downloading 3-4 time faster than it should. I have a 300 some-odd Kb/s xDSL up/down. It's downloading at 160-200 KB/s. It should only be downloading at 48 KB/s. :confused:
