Greetings! I had the same problem while installing Potato last week. lots of error 111. I am using S3 Virge and Voodoo2. This happened "everytime" I installed potato. 1) Pressed Ctrl+Alt+Bkspace when It is going to X ( well not relly going into X just blinking) 2) If it doesn't work try Ctrl+C when the installer prompts for an enter key. 3) Just let the installer continue 4) Use XF86Setup after you have logged in. I'm not sure if this will work for you, keep me informed with you r progress. Aldous
