Andy, I just bought an ASUS P5A mobo with 128 MB 100 MHZ RAM, and a 2940 controller. I used the zero floppy installation using Linux Press's CD set that comes with Dale Scheetz's Debian Installation book. I think these are 'official cd' images. URL www.linuxpress.com It works like a charm. I did have to remove the xdm package and killed the xdm process so the system quit hanging, but not boot problems at all. --David David Teague, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux Because software support is free, timely, useful, technically accurate, and friendly.
