I don't set up as an expert, but it seems to me that the changes you are making are too comprehensive. You would be better off pausing a little longer, and trying to work out why one particular thing is not working. For example, if I had a problem with X I would try installing in text mode, and then try to set up X later, using one of the several tools available. I've never understood your problems with /dev/hda and /dev/hdb . I think that normally the computer will try to boot from /dev/hda unless you have told the BIOS otherwise. But if you install grub on the /dev/hda MBR it can certainly find partitions on /dev/hdb . As for IPv6, I think you can disable this by adding IPV6INIT=no to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (or whatever) and saying "service network restart" as root. (Or you could remove the IPv6 module from /lib/modules/<version>/ .) -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
