Good to hear you had no problems with the install Stefan.

Keep an eye open on the Cobalt Facts web site
(http://ww.cobaltfacts.com) setup by Thom, David and Gerald. I believe
they may be setting up a Cobalt FAQ / HOWTO / advice section on their
site which in time will contain help for things such as chkrootkit on
the Cobalts. You can subscribe to their mailing lists at

Have a good weekend,
