That's ok :) Allrighty then....first off, if you do have a problem then you can hit <ALT-3> (or any other number from 2-6) to get to a virtual terminal. Now, I think I've seen the kind of error you were talking about. One solution to this is to actually mount the drive by hand. Try the following: Open a virtual terminal (see above), then run the following: # cd / # mkdir mnt2 # mount -t vfat /dev/hdc2 /mnt2 (maybe use -t msdos) # ls /mnt2 (you should see base2_0.tgz in here) Switch back to the curses screen (<ALT-1>?) Now try specifying the base location as an "allready mounted partition", /mnt2/. Let me know how that goes.
