Hmmmm. i ran into this problem this morning. tried to install a couple different distributions (binaries and kernel sources, X-developer, minimal) the machine is a dell 486-50, smc ultra (8216?), adaptec 1542CP (plug-n-pray disabled) used -cv at boot to remove all devices that are not needed. moved ed0 to irq 3, i/o 0x300, mem 0xd4000 (removed sio1--due to interrupt confict, same with mse0) this problem is new to 2.2-beta i can do further testing tomorrow. while getting the distribution splits, the install would return to the menu for selecting an ftp site. bizarre. i was using wcarchive.cdrom.com. hitting <enter>, results in a dialog about "reuse network settings?". hitting <enter> again, results in the install continuing. my old memory seems to associate the problme with the doc distribution....but i couldn't say for sure. jmb
