I check my irq settings and hardware, they are all detected correctly. When i install i select the ALL option to install everything, including the ports. The process will begin to run and then will crash due to kernal panic and different times of the install. i suspected at first that it was because my swap partition was not large enough, so i increased the size. this did not work when i tried to install again. i wiped the drive and attempted to install again with the ALL option, and it worked. (i got to the menu that says congrats). i did not choose to configure any options past this point partly because i wanted to make sure it worked and partly because i wanted to learn how to do it all manually. i rebooted the machine, and signed in as root. i then went to sysinstall and tried to add Gnome with Sawfish. The package began the install and copying files, then suddenly crashed due to a kernel panic. i should say that i tried to run startx and i got several errors ("execve failed for /usr/X1186/bin X (errno 2) "followed by a several lines of "_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno =2) thats all i can really think to tell you all. thanks for looking this over! _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
