Debain is actually installing it's putting in the base packages. What I / We didn't do is to install PCMCIA before the network driver when I installed PCMCIA the Xircom CE3 10/100 was found and installed :o) 20 base disks later and it should be done when I wake up in the morning :O) I'll have a 486sx with 24 mb ram running Debain. :-D That will make 1 Redhat and 1 Debain machine, thanks for the help with getting the FDD install running. It will force me to work at the command line. I think everyone who wants to be on the more technical side needs to learn in from the command line. X windows it tempting when it's available, knowing the guts of the system is important. Making a boot floppy now, maybe I'll wait to go to bed, and sending this. Restart Congratulations, you have successfully installed Debain! Time zone password and new user bla, bla, bla mail, more bla... it's 2 in the morning please get finished. login shutdown -r now login logout go to bed.... Sam. P.S.
