If that fails try the CD1 and at the first screen select "install" and then when it asks click on Upgrade. Select no packages and it will run through the process quickly and at the end it will or should set up your boot loader which you can check at the last screen. Any missing files will be installed then too. If either of the above don't work, then I am stumped. HTH -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
