.., install trouble

[Kathy Iler]

Thank you Karl. I did download the 6.06 (Gutsy? Version) and it did boot on
live CD. I cannot find the beta of 7.10 (fiesty?) that you've mentioned.

What I'd like to verify now is, can I still use the Fiesty Server (7.04))
and a thin client with 6.06 or will I need to down grade the server app?

Thanks,
Kathy
