Hi, Nico, I do not know the answer, but do have a couple of ideas. You could mount either the CD or the base floppies and try to track the order of execution of scripts. I would check out the root for a .profile first. Xenix installs used to come up as a root login and start out with this file. Also check for rc files in /etc, especially ones with odd names. The second thing I have had good success with is changing to an alternate virtual terminal during the install and running ps. This not only gives me a list of the processess currently runnning but also gives the expanded arguments being used. Of course, this means doing a normal install again so you can track things. I have found that using these techniques can also be a powerful (and sometimes surprising) way to learn the system. --- Bob McGowan i'm: bob dot mcgowan at artecon dot com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
