The trouble is, the install is crapping out long before I make any choice about the installation. I don't actually get to a point where I make any choices (other than picking "INSTALL" when it boots off the CDRom). For that reason, I don't think that this is a HD thing. -- Ian _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
