OK, Raul, you're better fixed than I, then. I still like the thought of trying the stick, though. Save a disk and all that. Whether it works or not depends on your bios. I would certainly try. The image you want is in the images directory of the first iso, and it's called diskboot.img. Use dd to write it something like so: dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/sde Obviously, change sde to your actual device, bu take care to write to sde and not sde1. Once written, you can loop mount and edit syslinux.cfg to default a text install over telnet. You can even supply static ip data, if you need to. That will give you a very accessible install. Only the first few screens will be speechless. Ditto, more or less, for booting from cdrom using the bootdisk.iso image. You hit enter a few times to take the default language, select US keyboard, and you're off and running. Ping your static address. Once it responds, telnet to it. It's quite cool. PS: When we used pxe, we had pxe set up a telnet installation so we could have an accessible installation. Else pxe would have started the installation on the local console--which is no hlep without that serial port, of course. Raul A. Gallegos writes: > Janina; I have a smartmedia 128 Mb stick.
