Thanks, Tom! Your advice will probably get me around my startup troubles, as well. I didn't realize this was a full-fledged RH7.2 distribution. Two questions, though: Do I just burn all these ".iso" files onto cds? I'll be using Adaptech Easy Cd Creater under Win2K. I now RH7.0". Does the Install in the modified 7.2 have an "upgrade" option? or will I have to overwrite my existing install? Thanks, Dave
