I wonder if this is the problem???? The installation guide says... "CD's 2 through 5 will each boot a different ``flavor'' depending on which CD-ROM is inserted. See Choosing the Right Installation Set, Section 4.2.2 for a discussion of the different flavors. Here's how the flavors are laid out on the different CD-ROMs: CD 1 Allows a selection of kernel images to boot from (the idepci flavor is the default if no selection is made). etc... CD 5 Boots the `bf2.4' flavor. We booted from CD1 and the installer starts but we selected the bf24 kernel. Naturally I didnt want an old 2.2 kernel. When we get to the install base package stage we still have CD1 in the drive and it looks for base packages on that. So do we really need to boot from CD5 ??? I'll do a checksum of the iso today to check it as suggested by guru. -- Mike Lake Caver, Linux enthusiast and interested in anything technical.
