I was finally able to overcome the problem the floppy images suck. I just ended up doing a ftp install. Now my problem is with x. when it tries to detect my card it can't see my agp tnt2. I choose to install x. I tell it yes. downloads. Starts to install asks if I want to set up the config file. At this point if I tell it yes it fails. If I tell it no will it install x and then let me run xf86config later? Also should I be concered that it can't see my card or is this just a fluke and if i point it to it should it be able to see it. Thanks all. Ray
