The output from the installation (console 2 - Alt-F2) shows segmentation faults and core dumps for mv, rm and ln commands - and the list gets longer if I try to do anything on the emergency shell (Alt-F4). Adding a user doesn't auto-populate the UID nor the shell, then claims that the user already exists. I also neglected to say that I am installing the AMD64 version - perhaps this is useful information :) Dave. -- David Rawling Principal Consultant PD Consulting And Security 20 Goodin Road Baulkham Hills, NSW 2153 Australia Mob: +61 412 135 513 Email: djr@pdconsec.net Please note that whilst we take all care, neither PD Consulting and Security nor the sender accepts any responsibility for viruses and it is your responsibility to scan for viruses.
