The mind boggles. If you can't boot from CD-ROM, use a USB stick. If you can't boot from a USB stick, use PXE. If your NIC doesn't do PXE, you can get one that does for $20. If that is not an option either, move the disk to another machine, install, and move it back. If you really want to install 7.2 from floppies, you will need 76 disks just to get a bootable system. For 8.0, you will need 84. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
