Thanks for your reply - muchly appreciated :-)
I bought the cd of both 4.1, and then 4.1.1 (thats the one I'm having =
problems with) - from www.everythinglinux.com.au - after the problems =
I've been having with 4.1.1 - I thought I would rule out hardware =
problems, by attempting to install 4.1 - which is currently installing =
no problems!
I've already phoned the people at www.everythinglinux.com.au, and =
they're sending me a replacement cd, with a return envelope, so that I =
can send them the f**ked cd back :-))
*very happy that it proves that it wasn't a hardware problem*
regards
james

Setup your FTP server such that the CDROM root is under a directory =
called
"4.1.1-RELEASE". The install program will ftp to the w2k machine, =
login,
then try and cd to the distribution directory.
