Hi Gayn

Thanks for your help.

CD Works on other machines and also dl from 3 diff mirrors and also tried
the boot only-iso. Have checksum'd

Screen dump keep rolling over the screen...not sure if the dig cam will be
able to grab the nos. [ was extremely hard to get the first 2 with the naked
eye ] but will happily give it a go


Thanks again

Chris
