Yes, something along these lines. Or "Installations-CD/Diskette".

Would it be hard do make a progress bar like it shows up later in the installation while installing packages?

The release I mentioned from about two weeks ago did not have this bug. Because it's the one I'm running right now on my laptop. No depmod problems with PCMCIA modules here. Probably you can have a look at that release and see what you changed in the meantime.... > > > selected earlier in the install process?

I let the install continue and when I got back to it today afternoon I had the following error on my screen: "Fehler bei der Installation des Basissystems dbootstrap beendete sich mit einem Fehler (return value 127) <Weiter>" On console #4 I had the following: "mkfifo: not found" I tried again, but with on luck, same message. Any suggestions or am I alone with this? Beat -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
