Hi, I'm using a linux RHEL 3.0 AS Update6 for the image. In the mean time I figured that the timeout might came from the network card settings so instead of connecting through a switch I've used a crossover cable an the install worked fine. I'll try to play with the options: line_speed=100 and full_duplex=1, this might fix the problem. Thanks, Gabriel --- Egan Ford <egan@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > What OS?
