Where do I get this? The mirrors I use, and they are up to date otherwise, only habe 1.3.8-1mdk. >> Thanks, I'll report how it goes. HD install works now.

I could then force this the same way I do the resolution, up at line > 278. I've tried with 16, 15 and 8, and the colors are different every time, but still wrong. 15 gives the most readable display. With 8, the colors are dithered, but so to speak before the color distortion is applied, so the result is multicolored noise that makes the text almost unreadable. I can't really explain this to myself, since I have examined the XF86Config file generated by the installer and have found no fundamental difference to the one that works fine on my installed system. The XFree86 log doesn't show anything insightful (at least to me) either. Otherwise, the install worked mostly flawlessly. After manually installing the 2.4.20-benh-2mdk kernel, X works as well, without having to mess with the XF86Config. Some issues: o The installer didn't autodetect my airport card, and in the driver list that appears when you answer "Yes" to the "Do you have another ethernet interface" question, I didn't find anything that looked like an airport driver. o When booting with the benh kernel, I get error messages about an "IPVS IP virtual server" (or something similar) not being available as a kernel module or built into the kernel. o When fsck runs at startup and asks for input, the keyboard layout is completely messed up. I believe this is connected to the fact that at this point the only message shown about keymaps yet is "loading default keymap:", whereas I recall this being "loading default keymap: us" in previous installs (where the keyboard was right at that stage). o Gnome-panel still segfaults when I log out of Gnome. -Christian
