Understandable, but I don't think it's necessary to "blow away" the box. At install time, it should be possible to switch to a shell and simply rename your /home (or whatever) directory and remove the rest manually. No need to format it. Copy them back later on, chown things to suit. > current kernel is loading? I've read about ACPI and compiling > kernels, but I do not think I'm ready for that yet.

I'm fairly certain the ACPI works but also has the ALSA sound drivers that seem to be the default and may not work for you. -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
