    Hi Carl -

    I'm sorry, your joke went over my head... Actually I am using the CD's
    not the DVD to install from so I hadn't made that connection at all, in
    my mind.

    As far as progress goes, no joy yet. I have disconnected/removed the
    SCSI card, modem card and one of the two CD drives from my computer in
    an attempt to isolate and remove some of the variables.

    At one point I saw something confusing, it looked as if the scripts are
    trying to set up a RAID set of drives. I don't understand why that was
    happening as I do not have a RAID system. I do have a lot of partitions
    on my disk drives, mostly Fat32 and NFS for Windows (my computer is a
    dual, actual three Win98, Win2000 and Linux) boot system and I wonder if
    having a lot of partitions might be confusing the install scripts? Again
    just guessing and I can't seem to get the computer to repeat/show me
    what I saw so I dunno if this is really something to be worried about.....

    Bottom line, my computer is still crashing as always and I am both
    contemplating a next step and diagnosing/researching.....

        Marc....
