Hello all, Tried installing Etch a number of times. The first time I did it without allowing the root user and it installed just fine, but I couldn't su into the root status, or whatever they're trying to do, so I reinstalled Etch. The second time around, it asked to install the kernel again and it wouldn't take. I tried re-installing a third, fourth, and fifth time and finally got it on the sixth by skipping tasksel, and while trying to install the GUI, it crashed and broke syslogd and wouldn't start for nothing. I was wondering if anyone had any tips for getting past the bug. If I hadn't already done it once on the first installation, I would think it couldn't be done. The post-installation version of tasksel seems broken, as most of the core features were never installed. Standard features like less and grep were missing, and the post-installation version of tasksel didn't offer the choice. Anyway, I'm about to try again and see if I can't run tasksel off Shane's netinst CD from another console while it might still be available. I absolutely love the latest cursor tracking features in the 2.6 kernels. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Michael
