Although, I'm not quite sure on how you can install the driver for the system without an OS being on there. If you only pass the boot options from the CD on install, what happens? Do you get the X install? Also, if you load the entire OS from CD and not install the driver, can you get X to work? -- Shawn "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear -- not absence of fear." -Mark Twain Ne Obliviscaris -- "Forget Not" _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
