If the standard installation option doesn't include installing the kernel (and as I found out later, installing X without installing the default fonts) then I think that's a bug!

Was this on a new install or an upgrade? I've seen this problem doing a binary upgrade, but not with a new install. -Derek At 05:05 PM 8/20/2006, Jeff Rollin wrote: Hello all I need to report a serious bug in 6.1-RELEASE.

Is there a chance that the disk image that you downloaded was damaged or that perhaps there was a problem with the server site that you downloaded from. I have actually had better success installing via the internet than from fully downloaded CDs.
