I tried the latest CD (2003/1/1) and had about the same problems. Two differences from the last experience: 1) So far, when I booted the CD by pressing Enter at the "boot:" prompt, the integrity check always failed at the check for "bterm-unifont." 2) So far, when I booted the CD by typing "linux ide=nodma" at the "boot:" prompt, the integrity check always failed at the check "base-installer." __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
