i suggest burning or buying a debian cd to install from. i do not think vmware can mount an iso9660 image as a vmware virtual disk. of course once you have linux installed u can have linux mount the image .. having the real cd saves (me at least) a lot of pain and trouble that i sometimes encounter doing net installs. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
