Hello Samuel and others; firstly I need to say that I have solved our problem, (it wasn't a problem in the first place, see below,) and secondly, there is actually no problem if you run the current netinst installer from a cd; but you knew that right? Usually, I have taken these installers and done a dd if=IsoName of=/dev/usb so as I can run it from a USB stick to make the install faster. This no longer works. hmm. Thanks anyway for your help. Marcel
