I can only guess since I've never used Xandros, but it sounds like Xandros is finding an existing installation and assuming that you'd never want to hurt it, hence aborting the installation. One option might be to use fdisk either from your boot floppy or from windows to delete the Linux partitions and try the installer then. If there's nothing you want to keep on the partition, that's probably the use-case the Xandros guys tested best when they wrote the installer. > Even if I do get Xandros going, I then have the obstacle of getting it > to work with a USB ADSL modem (D-Link ADSL 302G.

I still think ethernet's the way to go, but cross that bridge when you get there. James. -- James Gregory <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
