Thats right - it isn't strictly speaking part of the install software, although it is a common need so perhaps should be documented (I think the new installer in beta provides official support for this). if you press ALT+Fn (n being 2 or more) during the installation process you get a terminal. There is a small set of unix tools available here to do stuff in the background. You could mount a cdrom/floppy with the .o on from this window, and modprobe it into the installer's kernel. -- Jon Dowland http://jon.dowland.name/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
