[Zeffie-Users] Qube2 restoration

[Arne Hulstein]

Hi,

I have seen that there are all these Cobalt users here and I have a
question, which I have also posted on the sun forums, but I would like
a fast answer.

Just this week I got my hands on a cute Qube2. It has been sitting
around for quite a while and I decided to give it a new home and use
it as my personal webserver, e-mail and filesharing box.

It came completely modified software-wise and I would like to restore
it to its original settings. So I got the restore CD out, put it in
the desktop and connected the Qube with a X-cable. I switched it on
while holding the left and right buttons and the first message it
displayed was "Net booting". Now this message has been on there for a
couple of hours and it doesn't seem to do much at all. So this leaves
me with a number of questions;

    * How long does this process take?
    * Is anything wrong?
    * Is it useful to replace the original disc it came with with a
new restore disc?
    * If so, where can I find it as the download pages are not really
clear (to me anyway)

I hope you guys can help me out as I would love to go and play with it
over the weekend. I would like to restore it to its original software
situation, but haven't got a clue how to get it going. Any help
greatly appreciated.

Arne
