If there is an error, it passes too quickly for me to= see it. At no point do I get an installer or a login prompt. The hardware is a 3rd? generation i5 and 8GB of RAM. Possibly a Dell machine= ? Should I instead be using the 12.0-RELEASE image? The machine does not have an optical drive in it. --=20 My main job is trying to come up with new and innovative and effective ways t= o reject even more mail. I'm up to about 97% now.=
