I believe the cd I am installing from may be faulty. I made a boot disk from it and it does the same thing when booted from. I get no messages to reply to. Tried the Debian boot cd and Linux booted to it alright. The Fedora cd came in a book I bought at barns & Nobles. I had gone there to buy a Debian book but found none. It took me all afternoon to pick out the Fedora book. The had 6 books on the shelf. That kind of thing will hurt Debian if many book stores do that. Doug ----- Original Message ----- From: "H.
