Yeah, I decided to go for the Universal install since it has stage files. Seemed that the Minimal didn't. I'd forgotten that.
The AMD64 will be nicer to install from. I'm getting 65MB/S DMA on the hard drive whereas the x86 Universal didn't have the right chipset stuff and I was only getting 2.5MB/S. Two problems I've seen with the AMD64 Universal CD so far: 1) Console #2 doesn't go to a console. It stays with the boot up graphics. I have to use Alt-Ctl-F3 to get to a second terminal. 2) The path in the login message telling you how to start links to get the install docs is incorrect. Both pretty minor. Install underway if I can get comfortable with LVM2.... Thanks, Mark On 8/30/05, John Jolet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > well, not sure what stage files, if any that one has on it.
