Yes install was done by the CDs. I did try that but not being all that familiar with the CLI, following the prompts only gets me so far. ... I mount the partitions on/mnt, return to the prompt, but ls shows only the floppy, the CD ROM and what is in RAM - but not the hard disk. I've searched for info but haven't yet found anything that applies to my situation and/or makes sense to me. When I get back to the root prompt, how do I manage to see the Hard disk's partitions? My partitions are on hdd. Since it doesn't find init, I guess it's not being pointed to properly but I'm unsure where it is/should be and what points it there. (mostly) clueless Curt
