Using boot-floppies 3.0.20-2002-03-07, I still get "Failure while unpacking required packages" during base install. So this remains, severity: serious. For me. Will try potato install to see if problems persist, have already tried various permutations of available hardware. -- chris jantzen kb7rnl =-> __O Insert witty comment here. _`\<,_ http://www.maybe.net/ (*)/ (*)
