Success, I think.....

Well....go figure. I re-initialized my Jumpstart server - deleted /jumpstart/sol_10_807 and did a "setup_install_server /jumpstart/sol_10_807". Funny - I ran a "du -sk" on the old directory before deleting it, and came up with a number. Then I did the same thing on the new image, after the setup completed, and came up with a different number. I'm thinking that something didn't copy correctly from the DVD on my original setup. Whatever the reason, I now seem to be installing correctly from the Jumpstart server - I am about 75% done, and am waiting patiently for a finish so I can do some more poking around. Thanks for taking the time to help out...
