Thanks Frans and Joey, This is my poke-around box until Etch is stable so I won't bother about it for now. The netinst standard system install only takes about 20 minutes so I think I'll wait in case something changes in Etch between now and it being stable that would make the system somewhat different than if I installed RC1 (my current images) and upgraded. On the other hand, if there wouldn't be any difference at all between the two, I may as well start getting things downloading now (slow dial-up) and beat the rush. In any event, what a great installer you guys made. Thank you for your hard work. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
