Yeah apparently it does.  I tried that and it actually booted.  Which
leaves me rather confused because it's not supposed to. :)  Maybe they
mean it won't boot when it's put on the HD?

The problem I'm having now is that the installer won't recognize my hard
drive unless i use the benh kernel.  Unfortunately X won't start with
either kernel.  It fails with an invalid option error.  I tried usiing the
old-gui and that starts but it's all corruped and I can barely make out
what's on the screen.

Is there any way to boot the cd using the benh kernel but start the text
mode install?
