Now I could finish the installation (which takes like forever (speaking in terms of 2 hours which is pretty strange given the raw power of this machine)) however after rebooting the box behaves weird to say the last: I started out be entering "portsnap fetch". Everything runs fine up to the point when I see "Verifying snapshot integrity". Then the system completely comes to a grind. After sending the "portsnap fetch" to the background (^Z) and entering "top" the machine completely freezes without any indication as to why. I've already done a complete hardware diagnosis - everything OK. Any ideas on how to track this one down? Thanks much in advance, -ewald
