I think it probally is the memory... For now, grab the text-based install. The graphical install should fall back to text when there is not enough memory (as is the case w/ 16 MB) but there appears to be some problems with that. Jeff

Re: [Cooker] Archives? And my bug...
I got the same problem...I think that it doesn't support text based install. My video card wasn't recognized and is old. Um...I've had more problems the more I've used it. Try a different box w/more memory and/or newer video card. Well, maybe it wasn't the video card b/c i only have 16 megs on that system too. I think it probally is the memory... -Guy
