Anyone else have any ideas? Thanks for all of your replies. One thing I did notice is that I can not log in as any user including root and I get the same error message; can't log in to tty1. I may be following the wrong trail here. Keep In mind that I am on somewhat of an adventure with this project anyway as I have a running system on another disk in the same machine (evidence this reply :-) so any ideas are welcome. BTW I have NEVER seen this installation problem before & it may be related to the "Internet" installation. -- John Foster
