Meanwhile I managed to install 2.2-960501-SNAP without problems. In the process I noticed that 2.2-SNAP probes for PCI devices before it looks for ISA devices, while 2.1R does look for ISA devices first. Maybe it has something to do with this order of bus probing. I think I will have to live with 2.2-SNAP until 2.2R becomes available (or even longer; remember, we're upgrading from the last 4.3 based and _very_ stable release). With the 2.1 compatibility package I can run most 2.1 applications. I don't know yet if 2.2-SNAP is buggy, but I think we'll find out pretty soon. Thanks to all for your help and for one of the best OS available. Uwe -- Uwe Gruentjes, DSW SECURITY Management GmbH, Abt.
