Re: failed to set xfermode ...

Thank you for your reply.  I think the rebooting issues was caused by
Windows or a BIOS problem.  I've had the system for over a month, it
has been running 24x7 serving bit torrents, constantly (while loop)
doing dd of each mount point to /dev/null all while coping files from
my media server to a local hard drive.  The system never missed a beat
.... that said I still don't know how to install Linux from scratch
w/o getting the failed to set xfer message.

FYI: All Linux distro's (Fedora, Ubunto, Knoppix, ...) I've tried have
the same issue.

Thanks,
   Jamie
