This is actually doeable... but secret as heck unfortunately. You can get a plf iso that doubles as disk 1 for doing an install. I think MDK is using isolinux to build their disks but really don't know for sure. Only thing I do know is that it isn't anaconda anymore. *grin* If anyone knows or figures it out... let's document it. I agree that a 1 disk "my disk" install would be neat.(not to mention useful for businesses like say a Dell) James
