I downloaded the installation disk and can boot my computer with it. I can go through kernel setup alright. Then it changes screens where I think its testing the devices on my computer. Then it goes to a blank screen and my hard drive light anf floppy drive light stay on, and my computer locks up. If I disable my hard drive and CD-ROM drive in the kernel setup, I can make it to the installation menu and then my computer locks up. PLEASE HELP! Thanks in advance, Charlie Savko, savko@epix.net
