I recently installed from tfheen's netinst floppy successfully on a dell c610 laptop. Unfortunately, I selected ext3 the first time for my file system. Apparently the kernel on the floppy doesn't have ext3 support, and as a result the lilo postinst failed, and upon first boot, the root partition could not be mounted. As a workaround, I installed with ext2, but we need to fix this. Also, I don't think that the list of extra packages to install should be part of the default priority level. That's the only really bewildering thing to your average person in the default install. thanks and great work everyone! cardenas -- michael cardenas | lead software engineer, lindows.com hyperpoem.net | GNU/Linux software developer people.debian.org/~mbc | encrypted email preferred "We, the men of the mind, are now on strike against you in the name of a single axiom, which is the root of our moral code, just as the root of yours is the wish to escape it: the axiom that existence exists." - Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
