(lets see was it altphys? link2? -link2?, damn it i dont remember!) --continue the install sytle boot till a "done" option is selected from one of the menus. the ncftp fetch of X locked up on me and i had to do the rest by hand--and the way i type that's a very real disadvantage ;) --ncftp has worked fine here during installs, so lets keep it, can the error message that it produces on the alt-f2 screen. dont really remember it--some file or file descriptor message that does not indicate a show stopper, but does cause unfounded concern. jmb Jonathan M.
