Solving the wrong problem [*GRIN*] Installs fine from any of several versions of the LiveCD. WiFi works fine after those installs. The problem with _those_ installs is that you get something claiming "to be everything to everybody". Even P.T. Barnum knew better ;) I have been told that netinst is capable of the fine control of *initially* installed packages that I desire. Besides netinst should work. There's a subtle bub in here somewhere. I'm retired. Therefore have time to searching and testing that various people suggest. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
