Aha! Welcome to the wonderful world of Debian. You have successfully smashed head-on into the first obstacle placed in your path. Cunning newbie test #1 -- see if the poor unfortunate newbie is smart enough to find the documentation, AND read it. Cunning newbie test #2 -- see if the poor unfortunate newbie is dumb enough to actually BELIEVE what said documentation says. (You *cannot* be serious!) [ You will of course, find boot.bat under /install -- NOT /boot. : o Don't ask. ] Moral -- treat all documentation as if it were written by malicious minded, evil little pranksters. [ Or at the very least, creative typists who would really rather be writing best-selling masterpieces of pure fiction. ] It's better for your sanity. Really. Once you've adjusted your mindset to little things like this, you'll find Debian is the best Christmas present you ever got! -- Martin Wheeler - StarTEXT, Glastonbury, Somerset, England - BA6 9PH [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.startext.co.uk/ P.S.
