This will work on most computer - monitor combinations just fine.
On some odd combinations, the screen will come up scrambled and you can't see what questions are being asked, or you get no display at all. In those cases, try option 2. it will use a very blocky character-based menu selection, but will allow the install to work on combinations where the install CD's OS can't set up the screen resolution correctly. In both cases, the installed system will be the same. these options don't affect what is installed or how it is configured, they only affect the way the menus are displayed DURING the install procedure. I'm not sure what option 3 is for, it loads a very stripped-down OS for the install, and I think makes it impossible to update the system during the install because there's no network. And, there is no EMC2, and hasn't been for several years. Jon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
