Hi there folx, First of all: QUOTAs do work ! Second - when some1 stucks with geometry problem ( succesfull install,but PC can't find boot record thereafter, so one has to boot via floppy), there IS a simple cure ( RTFM :): use pfdisk ( or some other utility which shows real HD geometry ). Using this method I was able to reinstall 2.0.5 on 2 computers ( Adaptec PCI 2940/SCSI HDDs - 300MB, 1Gb , 9 Gb) and guess what ? They boots now ! :) -=-= STANDARD DISCLAIMER -=-=- I don't know now if this is universal cure - but there is definitely a sense to include Unix version of that utility into the distribution and make it start during the install ?! For those unfamiliar (if any): take a look at the HD geometry before the installation via pfdisk.exe and change the geometry to same value during the install ( GEOMETRY sub-menu). Enjoy the ride :) Rashid
