Installing the base system failed at between 80 and 90 % under both 2.4 and 2.6. It was impossible to continue past the error. I dropped back to the beta 4 installer image and was able to install. Under beta 4 I still had to install under 2.4 so that the NIC was operational, but was able to upgrade to 2.6 after the installation as complete. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
