Brainstorm, throw ideas at the community, share ideas. Feel free. Don't let you be hinderd, surely not by the rest of this E-mail. > this ia64/amd64 issue comes up really often. Less often then plain ignorance. I also feel sad to see installation reports that say | Base System Installation Checklist: | [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it | | Initial boot: [E] | Detect network card: [ ] | Configure network: [ ] | Detect CD: [ ] | Load installer modules: [ ] | Detect hard drives: [ ] | Partition hard drives: [ ] | Install base system: [ ] | Clock/timezone setup: [ ] | User/password setup: [ ] | Install tasks: [ ] | Install boot loader: [ ] | Overall install: [ ] | | Comments/Problems: | | I can not continue with the installation process. IMNSHO is the best way to fix these issues, is the sell pre-installed GNU/Linux computers. Cheers Geert Stappers
