When we switched to the 3.0 CD-ROM, the system loaded and booted fine. In every case, we used the "minimum" configuration. My partner and I have both performed dozens of successful installations in the past, both via net and CD. I can only assume that 3.1 STABLE is not suitable for release. BTW, I cam currently not on this mailing list, so please reply privately, or tell me where I can find a web archive. Thank you. Brian D.
