when I got this error, it was a problem with info not being available. when I had vmlinuz.spk properly downloaded and the right drive pointed to in linux.bat, the errors went away. I like the fact that zipspeak goes in a folder called linux. that makes things much easier. is it possible that something is afoul with the linux.bat file somehow? is it possible that something is wrong with vmlinuz.spk? it needs to be in the linux folder. there should be only one. you can leave vmlinuz in there for other purposes but you must have vmlinuz.spk and the correct one in there and only one. -- Hands-On Technolog(eye)s ftp://poehlman.clark.net http://poehlman.clark.net mailto:poehlman at clark.net voice 301-949-7599 end sig.
