UH, can't do anything if you don't give any information, saying its a 'box' and it has an 'em' is useless. We have installed RC1 on a number of systems without problem. When you give this kind of report think about it like you have to debug it yourself (which you do :). What is the system, pciconf, which will tell us what kind of em it is, how bout Beta 6.2 did IT build. Um, so can you pull the NIC out and then does it install... etc etc.. Cheers, Jack
