I think I am still getting the wrong image but I may be getting closer. I went to http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer after reading the README message from Samuel's web page on people.debian.org. I selected the debian installer but may have gotten confused about the ISO image to download. I got debian-6.0.4-i386-CD-1.iso It successfully was remastered using Samuel's remaster-append.sh and it beeps quite prominently when booting, but I have yet to hear one sound from the speakers. This is from a Dell Dimension tower with 256 megs of RAM that successfully runs the old Vinux2.x talking kernel. The iso image passes the following MD5 sum: 40cb7492989d0475d04e55556b0deda2 debian-6.0.4-i386-CD-1.iso Is this an image that should work? Martin
