I've tried installing 8.2 and 8.1 now (thanks for the help, guys) and will soon try 8.0. Both 8.2 and 8.1 boot, ask if I want to install, and then tell me they are "Unable to uncompress 2nd stage RAMdisk" because of some sort of hardware error. 7.1 installed without any problem. Yes, I did burn the CDs on another computer. Anywork around there that you can think of? I don't understand what you mean by "booting from CD2 and selecting an alternate CD image." Where can I read about that? ===== - No, I'm a good man. I'm just not a very good wizard. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
