All installations that I have completed so far have been on std IDE boxes, with few if any probs (apart from Graphics and NIC). I have tried to install 6.3 6.4 & 7 of LINUX on a P166 80M ram 2x 8GB SCSI HDD 2x 4GB SCSI 1x SCSI CD-ROM, all via an Adaptec AHA-2940 (BIOS 1.23) SCSI card. I have loaded the 294x drivers after booting from FDD and then start installation. The CD is found and all goes well (although slowly!) until it stops with... "An error occurred during installation" Has anyone else had similar problems? Is there a log file that I can open with more info re the failure? The equipment was in good working order as it was a working NOVELL box. As a further measure, I am about to try Mandrake 7.1 Kind Regards Adrian Wells _______________________________________ Systems Manager Sidcot School Oakridge Lane, Winscombe, Somerset BS25 1PD.
