OK, this is getting ridiculous. A relatively new HP NC4010 (1 year old). A maybe not the newest Storix USB CD/R-DVD drive. Of course the HP has no problem booting up off the CDrom. But then I get that blasted dialog of where are my install. So I go through the list and find a USB storage driver. It doesn't help. I do have a USB 2.5" drive case that I can put a drive in with the CDs on, but is it worth the effort? Will the install recognize that? Does anyone know were to point me to info on how to get the install to get things like PCMCIA and USB drivers installed initially?
Hi! In the next few days...maybe even this afternoon, I will be putting together a 64 w/the AMD Clawhammer 3700+ 64. This is my first experience w/64 architecture...so I need not say more on that. I only lack a couple mins from having the 4.2-x86_64 cds from the bittorrent. It says it's to handle the AMD Athlon 64 Opteron and Intel's xeon. Did I get the right package for this Clawhammer off the bittorrent or just which package do y'all suggest for this processor??? thx in advance, John Rose

If you download the iso images to a directory that is NFS exported, then boot the pc in question with the first CD and type 'linux askmethod' at the boot prompt, you can do the rest of the install over the network. It also saves burning and swapping in the other CD's so it is nicer even if you don't have a problem with the CD drive. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
