I discovered that the real problem I was having was that I don't recall the how-to saying anything about needing to right arrow to the end of the field which already contains: /dev/hda1 So, eventually, I got it so the install found my ISO disks, but now I get another message which makes me think that perhaps I downloaded the wrong ISO's. I have 5 ISO's called: psyche-i386-disc1.iso, and numbered successively to #5. Could these be the wrong disks? I followed the link that Janina gave me after I almost downloaded the ISO's from the how-to page, which are not the latest, she said. I get an error something like: Error: the second stage of the installation does not match the boot disk from which you are installing from, The operation will be terminated, okay. This is a pretty close approximation to what the error message read. And if they are wrong, what is the correct file names? Also, if these are the wrong disks, I'll be talking to you in a few days, as I can only get 1 or 2 downloaded per day, as each disk takes around 3.5 hours. Thanks. "Live long and prosper", O.
