You seem to be having some pretty horrible luck. I've only done 2 installs one on a modern system with Sata drives, dual core intel, etc .... No problems. The other an ancient AMD K62+-550mhz with slew of cast of parts. That one would not read the CD and I had to download the magic floppy mentioned in the maillist. That got it going no problem. I would at least try that method first just to see if there is something funny with the CD that can be over come. Otherwise I'm not sure what to say, if the PC could boot Whitebox [a RHEL clone] it should boot Endian which has a RHEL kernel [or something close to one]. -Mike [PS the floppy thing is Smart Boot Manager http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/download.html ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
