Like I was saying, it was an easy install, on booting that's when things got bad, the installer had not made user jimmy, there was only a choice for root or user, I logged in as root and found user jimmy was in fact not made so I made user jimmy using kuser only to get errors while trying to login, also the installer did not setup my network card, I checked /etc/network and the config file looked good but running 'ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0" I would get no network found. Then I decided to go take a nap. :-) What could I have done to have a more successful install? -- Jimmy Johnson SimplyMEPIS 8.5.03 EXT4 at sda5 Registered Linux User #380263
