Yeah, nice. The big big problem there for me is that I can't see the normal monitor, so if I did that, and reboot into the installer, and something didn't work while loading the driver for my display (which would be the first thing :) ) I couldn't debug what happened. By using UML, I can connect two displays, one to the host for debugging, and one to the installer-instance for verifying if starting-up and possibly detecting the display works. -- CYa, Mario -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
