For floppies, this isn't an option (have tried both "linux" and "expert" though). For netboot through lilo, you don't get the boot prompt so I can't be sure that I have. However, I have used both versions (normal and 2.6) of the netboot installer, and had different option prompts for each, so I believe so. The machine cannot boot from CD, so cannot try the CD installers. Regards, Janeene -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
