IIRC (it was about 4-6 weeks ago so no guarantee) the install "hung" during drive partitioning and/or filesystem prep. I know it was consistent as I tried it 3 times with the same results. At the time I thought it was a hardware problem but when I reverted to installing from the 4.2 CDs there was no problem. At the time I wrote it off to a possible bad CD. Thanks for the heads up. I will keep that in mind the next time I do an install. Regards, Hugh -- Hugh E Cruickshank, Forward Software, www.forward-software.com
