This is a continued misunderstanding, and it's really time to lay it to
rest.

Sun Cobalt doesn't warrant the software, though they do make a restore
CDROM available.

They do warrant the hardware, and the hardware warranty is NOT affected
by any software changes you must make.

The hardware warranty is time-limited, and most of us aren't covered by
it.

At one time Cobalt (before the purchase by Sun) did maintain a software
warranty and it did become invalid if you changed the software, but only
in the sense that all they couldn't warrant any changes you'd made.

Show me any other computer or computer appliance that warrants your
changes to the default softwrae installation, Paul.

Or please lay it to rest.

Jeff
