I have made the boot disk from the image file from your web site and let it auto boot the OS into the kernel Configuration screen. >From here I have set-up the various drivers for my hardware with no conflicts, including the Intel EtherExpress pro/10 Ethernet adapter. Unfortunately the last section of the probing screen scrolls by to quickly to see if the ex0 device was initialised. >From within the install application I have created the master partition and then sub-partitioned this into: / swap /usr and then Selected the distributions to extract. The next section is where I am having the problem. Media FTP passive Network interface information required. There is no option to install via my network, all I get are the serial port or parallel port options, and as I have a T1 link to the Internet via my network it was my intention to use this. Any suggestions. With regards James
