I suppose there could be something relevant on the 2nd DVD, although the first has been sufficient to install in 3 other ways: 1) via HTTP from another machine on my home LAN; 2) after copying the DVD-1of2 to a USB stick; and 3) it was also sufficient on a machine with a DVD drive. (The machine I was trying the hard disk install on- an HP MicroServer - has no DVD drive.) > Did you check the debug consoles (alt-Fx)? I'm not sure what this is. I copied everything in isolinux and images on the DVD in several places. Now I have to work out how to install Windows on the machine, but I daren't ask about that here ... I need it because my ISP claims to have tripled the speed of my supply, but says I have to run a Windows CD to setup the modem he has given me. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
