Then again, it had the driver already on here from a previous GeForce card. I can't install the binaries yet or drop down to a console. The install wasn't completed. It's trying to get me to the post-install config. When I drop down to the 1st console, all it shows me is some of the services it's started and that's it. I can't do anything more there except ctrl-alt-del. Something I meant to ask in the first e-mail (and forgot) was, how do you get init 3 started with grub (and since it's in the post-install phase, will it work?)? Hmm....Maybe I'll just download FC4-test and see what happens. Lee
