Wow... after a bit more looking around in the archives I had also seen this... but I still couln't get it to work... after some more looking/reading I found out I had to wait some time before pressing return to load the ramdisk...
So now i even ejected the cd, reloaded it, waited for all the leds to finish flashing... waited some more... pressed enter... presto.. I go back to reading my mail... and tada... replies. Thankx... it worked... even before I read this mail... Mark P.S. I'm at a familiar 'system installation' screen now... I'll manage from here I think...
