I *think* this happens when dselect can't find the file. I'm a bit confused. Are you installing from your hard drive or CD or ftp or what? It sounds like maybe you made a typo, etc when you were in the "0 [A]ccess" option of dselect. But this is more a guess than a definitive answer. -- Kent West [EMAIL PROTECTED] KC5ENO - Amateur Radio: When all else fails. Linux - Finally! A real OS for the Intel PC!
