Well, then that's probably the problem. Just try entering your passwords in a field where you can see what's displayed, for instance, the system name input dialog box, at the beginning of the install. You'll see that the "#" characters are not inputted (dunno where they are on a german keyboard). There are also problemns with capitalized letters (already reported). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
