Well one of the options is 'already mounted partition' so I thought that should be tested. You're right, it's probably not a common choice. That's interesting about the fstab; so if I manually mount an HFS disk during installation to read base from, it will automatically mount the same disk after I reboot into the new system?

There wasn't any base tarball in aph's powerpc-disks folder; I didn't think if I could do that out of order (without installing base first). -- Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
