I tried to do a fresh intall of 9.0 on my Toshiba 720 last night. It would hang on the search for components (hard drive config IIRC). I let it run for a couple hours, so I gave it plenty of time. SuSE 7.3 was the only OS installed previously. -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.
