That's the bit where you choose an apt 'method', I think - try going back to that part, and choosing an apt source as the local cdrom instead of a network source. It may not be visible in normal mode, so you may have to boot expert or expert26, depending on whether you are running the installer on a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | "I will make no bargains with terrorist | | steve@lobefin.net | hardware." -- Peter da Silva | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
