Hi I don't understand your 'algoritm' of the installation. >From memory: After having installed the the rescue disk and the drivers, then the network is configured. After that the installation program asks for where to find the base2.tgz, and one of the options is a prevously mounted partition. If this partition have been named by you to have the name /mnt/alfa, and if the directory has the name beta, then you should give the following information to the installation program /target/mnt/alfa/beta. Then the 15 or so MB will be installed from your hard drive. regards guran
