If you want to address all your memory, then you should use the amd64 ISO. As to your problem configuring your network, you have to look at the handbook and give us more information as to what you have done. But as Adam says you should do a full install with disc 1 if you're having problems doing a net install. Regards, -- Frank Contact info: http://www.shute.org.uk/misc/contact.html
