Already done that, and can build and save partitions, freezes when formatting filesystems. I just successfully loaded Mandrake 8.1 a couple of days ago, so I'm pretty sure that the hardware is ok. I'm downloading Fedora 10 right now to see if maybe it will load. Rod McCown ><> UNIX Senior Systems Admin.
