Then I use my newly acquired knowledge of the virtual terminals and I peeked at VT4. I saw some interesting things: This is probably meaningless, since it is true that this machine has no floppy... FATAL: Error inserting floppy (/lib/modules/2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i586/kernel/drivers/block/floppy.ko.gz) No such device And I saw network interface activity: NetworkManager (eth0) device state change : 1 -> 2 <6>b44 eth0: link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex NetworkManager (eth0) device state change : 2 -> 3 All good news but not unexpected. However, a ping scan of my network failed to uncover this machine: nmap -sP 10.1.2.0/24 I believe him to be 10.1.2.22 and vncviewer got "connection refused" So, he is at the very least anti-social. Additional suggestions welcome. Thanks for the help. Chris. Fill what's empty, empty what's full, and scratch where it itches.

Hi Shao, Subtle as a hammer... O.K., so I looked around some more. I couldn't get a shell on any VT. Is there a magic trick that I don't know? I did realize that part of the problem involves confusion on the part of ... (do I know enough now to mention it by name?) the LINUX kernel (Yes!) that is shepherding the installation. He wants to select between the RJ45 and the WiFi. Once I make that selection, I see a DHCPREQUEST and he responds to pings. This has demonstrated that my problem has nothing to do with SYSLinux. I can clearly see on VT3 that the full set of additional kernel parameters is passed. EXTLinux has done his job completely. Since, it appears I'm going to be leaving you-all for a little while (I have one more question, but it should be on a new thread), I need to know who I would contact for assistance with the initrd that is used during the distribution installation. Anybody have any recommendations? I can only hope that they are even half as helpful as you guys have been. Chris. Fill what's empty, empty what's full, and scratch where it itches.
