Ummmm. . .. I don't know. It was a boot disk I made during the install. I seem to recall seeing loadlin come up but I confess I didn't pay that much attention when it was booting. When I booted my computer some text would come up with the word "boot" and almost immediately it would say "booting the kernel" or something like that, then it would scroll through the various drives and so forth and then I would be in Debian, and it would ask for login & password. I hope you can help with this. Erik
