In case any of you are wondering, I downloaded the "alternate" install ISO and it provides several install options not on the main LiveCD installer. I picked text mode and it's been much less painful on the old, slow laptop. It's still taking a while but that's expected. The text install is no more complex or harder to use than the LiveCD install, so I'd recommend it to anyone installing on older hardware. -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD Users Group dwchandler@stilyagin.com | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
