If my memory servers me correctly, there was a problem with the new debian installer around that time that had this problem. Try picking up the formal pre-rc2 floppies that are currently on the web site (or better do it from a CD if your vectra has one. If it doesn't boot from CD put smart boot manager ( http://btmgr.webframe.org/ ) and boot from that and use that to boot from CD. -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. --Gandhi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
