Did you ever get a response to this posting? If so, I must have missed it. At any rate, I'm about 87% confident that your installation problem is related to a bad floppy. Use a different floppy and recreate the rescue disk. I bet that'll solve it. Floppies are notorious for causing problems during the installation of Debian. -- Kent West [EMAIL PROTECTED] KC5ENO - Amateur Radio: When all else fails. Linux - Finally!
