Any suggestions for what could be the most likely places to look? Another question - I have my CD ROM as master on my secondary IDE controller. It is not detected by atapi.flp when you boot from the floppy, BUT if I put it as slave on my primary controller (with my hard disk) it is detected. When I installed my system, I installed the kernel developer system. It did not install X. I would like X. Since I cannot get my kernel to recompile until I fix this problem, can I boot up using the floppy, then do a Custom installation from the main installation menu and just install the X-Server software and have all of my other previously installed software remain the same? Also is there something like a DOS command prompt I can go to when I boot up with the floppy? The reason being I would like to come up in command prompt, go to the live file system and copy the kernel.atapi binary. As you can probably tell, I am relatively new to UNIX, so please bear with me :) Anil
