Not sure if etch is the one on the netinstall CD? Anyway, I got only the 64 bit version to install, but then it worked with nvidia on my G5 dual-2.0 Apple box. The latest YDL 4.0.91 (not free) also works with the nvidia card. PS I i could still use some help with the boot loader?! HTH a little John -- John Fisher at Znyx Networks Santa Barbara office
