That's what i hated 'bout SuSE: they installed to much on a minimal system, and debian is sometimes going the same way :-(. I do not know either why ispell is that important; got no need for it. To your problem: that is really strange. If you had not tried another CD, i would say it is a physical image error or corrupt data caused by fault download. I had a similar problem with my laptop; i could not install from potato and woody CDs, but that error came just earlier on init scripts when trying to load MD (multiple devices), although a SuSE CD did it. I suggest another try with an actual woody CD (the german PC mag. Linux Intern had a woody CD some time ago) from the net or maybe a sid CD set. I am sure this will work. The do a minimum install and perhaps downgrade back to woody or potato (if wanted) and use actual security updates. HTH, Timo
