This is what I get: boot: bf24 Loading /install Loading bf24.bin ready. Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. --> here the cursor stops blinking. I tried bf24 verbose with the same result I am using a Packard Bell machine with a Athlon 1700+, DVD, burner, 3.5" floppy, Realtec network card and two IDE drives on the same cable. One drive is recentliy installed and not yet partitioned and formatted. Thanks a lot! -- Wolfgang
