Jurij Thanks for your response, I tried wheezy sparc netinstall iso also. It has same issue. I filed a bug report as Bug#678264. the report has very detail information. Can't remember the URL, but I remember I saw it somewhere about T5120's CDROM is connected using usb bus and hence the CDROM not found error message from netinstall iso image. tj > Thanks. > -- > Jurij Smakov [email protected] > Key: http://www.wooyd.org/pgpkey/ KeyID: C99E03CC -- T.J.
