Exact make and model *please*! What are the ground rules here? I recall that the idecdrom had to be in a specific location on the controller. Is this still the case? I would prefer to have mine ( Diamond Multimedia 8x, the dos probe calls it a stingray for some reason ) on the second ide controller, because the first controller is full! I would be happy to swap the thing around and try something if it would help, however. Which snapshot should we try? the 2.2 one or the 2.1.6 one? tx S'ren! ******************************************************************************* John Utz spaz@u.washington.edu idiocy is the impulse function in the convolution of life
