It could be the dust; it is a dusty room and I puffed it out and it didn't happen again, but there may be a deeper problem with the machine...I got a "possible hardware bug" message during the same 'tasksel' operation that has changed the clock on the Windows side. At any rate the best solution is to do a base install and then log in and run 'tasksel'. Running it during the install can leave you with an improperly mounted partition that won't boot, but errors running it after that first mount will leave you in a much better position to troubleshoot the problem. ejd _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
