Hi Nikhil: I faced this problem on two Celeron machines. One had Via chipset m'board and the other was Intel 852 Chipset. Got around the crash problem without configuring X in the first go. However, this is not a specific or conclusive answer/solution to the situation! > Will just writing grub.conf solve my problem?

Don't choose any package and let the installation go through, the installer will create a new entry for the boot loader on the MBR. Go till the end of the installation process, pull out the CD and reboot! This should work fine! -- thanks Saifi Khan. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
