The window says "Attempting to install all selected distributions" I copied kernel.GENERIC to kernel and it booted lemme look around for a sec (I have done nothing to it...) well...nothing is in usr/local so it didn't complete the install before dying. Jordan wrote back and thought he might have broke something but I have heard nothing since. I don't know if he could duplicate it.

It worked so the install went far enough for booting. It is sitting on FDISK row right now though. Don't trust it and myself to fix it. easier to FDISK it and reinstall. > Find out why it's sig11'ing. It shouldn't do that.
