There's still not an explenation to why it happens, nor a complete list of configurations that cause it. The workaround would be to use either an older 2.2 install disk (like the one from 2.2.1) or a newer 3.0-current install disk to install 2.2.2. Once you install it you should be OK (you can then even run /stand/sysinstall on your 2.2.2 system). When installing with a floppy from another version, be sure to modify the version in the Options screen to the one you're actually installing. Good luck, Nadav
