Everyone knows /dev/hda5, but the new version is very confusing. It made setting up lilo harder. The first time I tried the installer it did not seem to recognize my network card and I had to reboot. The next time it worked okay. All in all a very good effort. I am normally a Slackware user so setting up nvidia, ide-scsi ... was doable on my own. I think the average knoppix, mepis, suse, mandrake, redhat user will still whine that all of that was not done for them. Thanks for your efforts. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
