linux noapic goes as far as formatting the first partition and hangs with the caps lock and scroll lock lit up on the keyboard. I seem to remember doing an alternate kernel install with 7.0 or 8.1, starting the install with the second disk and being given a choice of kernels. I tried starting with the second disk (this is 9.0), it asked for the first one and I said 'alt1' at the prompt... it seems to be working- it's gone farther than every other attempt so far. (later....) I had put the third disc in before I had to leave, just got home and found the hard drive and CD ROM lights both lit and a blank screen but it wouldn't wake. Re-booted and it gets as far as recognizing the HD and CD ROM, then "Verifying DMI Pool Data" and just sits there. I'll run through it again and see what happens. -- The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind. - William James, 1842-1910, American Psychologist, Professor, Author
