Yes each time was a start over... Set the Boot partition back to the
dos partition first and start again.

Does this mean.... When dselect is ran skip the selectoin process and
jump strait to install???
DW>If you think it might help, you should feel free to call me, but we should

DW>With respect to a CD. I'm fairly confident that a CD would work for you

Whats the cost here????
