(that's the /boot partition with the ext2r0 filesystem) - after the reboot i get asked for a mirror again, perhaps this should use the values from the pre-boot setup and something else: in the long run it would be cool to be able to run the installer over the network instead over a serial line, has there been any work or discussion on this yet? cu robert -- Robert Lemmen http://www.semistable.com
