I don't know if > 2.0r's sysinstall is any better but I found it very anoying to -c the kernel, Set my NIC port, then get to the part where selecting _WHERE_ to install from only to find out that it will only work with sysinstall's expected setup! I could not find this info anywhere! I wound up having to set my hardware according to sysinstall expectations! Which is ok, As long as one knows _BEFORE_ getting started! If I'm wrong, Hit me over the head with a baseball bat! But _PLEASE_ don't hurt my fingers.. -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge... Share yours The Borg...
