Greetings; I found the boot.iso image on FC2 Test2 disk1 and put that on a cdrw by itself, and it boots. Unforch, the opening 2-3 screens is as far as I can get as it insists on loading a driver for my scsi card, and I think the cdrom too but the messages aren't that informative. The cdrom is a 12x Creative, and is addressed as /dev/hdc in my present 2.6.5-mm6 boot. My scsi card is an advansys ABP-930U, a decent card I'm not about to spend $100+ to replace with an adaptec (spit) that is its equal. Obviously there isn't a driver for it in the boot.iso. So at this point, I'm faced with either a no install, or to simply mount the disks in order, cd to the RPMS dirs and do an "rpm -Uvh *.rpm", which somehow seems a bit like playing russian roulette with a fully loaded weapon. How should I proceed? Can I start the whole thing with the autoexec script on disk1? If so, howto exec it correctly? It doesn't offer to be run when mounting the disk, and dbl-clicking on it simply brings it up in a shell as text (if I'm in X, using konquerer). -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
