Variously. Tried 2.6.4-1.i686 which downloaded but there were problems loading pcmcia modules for this kernel version. This is a PC not inn need of PCMCIA. Rebooted. tried to install 2.6.4-1.i386. Seemed to work except that it just decided to download/install 2.4.24 instead. Chose normal install. Chose to just boot to base system, not choosing extra packages during install. At root prompt ran apt-get install kde Went off and did its stuff including downloading xfree86 but nothing configured. Rather than attempting to configure. Running install again using tasksel desktop environment. This completed successfully and workstation very pleasant. Summary : Switching from defaults in install seems to break it. I particularly wanted to install 2.6.x kernel Thanks for a great distribution Richard
