Clean OS restore for Cobalt Raq3

step one- download ISO/burn cd

step two- boot PC with compatible nic with new cd from ISO. This can be tricky. I just happen to have an old IBM Desktop PC with the required nic...I've also heard that a work around can be used with a virtual pc and a serial cable... I'll post a link if I can find that solution again...

step three- follow the instructions (you'll have to spacebar through a few pages, then typ "y" to agree to terms, space bar some more to find instructions specifically for your Cobalt system, the Raq3 in this case.

Coming soon, a brand new-to-me (Sun?) Cobalt raq3 with k6-3d 300mhz processor, WOW!! Lets see if I can setup it up as a fileserver, maybe with ftp? How about as a free hosting server? Will this thing run Linux?
Lets see...

Okay, the server is here! yeah!!! Now, what to do with it... Well, I plug it in (power and ethernet) and see what happens of course!
