It was a duff install DVD as I'm up and running now with a new install DVD. Just a few things to tinker with to get things the way I want them, ( having some fun and games setting up my monitor resolution). Just one thought though with the hard drive auto allocate option still wanted to set up a 1 GB swap partition, the box has got 512MB of SD ram at the moment
