This is in contrast to the daily build (in additonal downloads the "Sources Snapshot") that is also advertised at the Bell Labs download site. Hope that clarifies stuff! I had assumed you failed with one of the snapshots. The standard works fine for my TNT2. However I also tried with a ATI Mach64: fine during installation, but after first "real" boot, it just produces rubbish. Didn't pursue that as my TNT2 works fine. Except on a motherboard that has an onboard Intel vga.... As an aside - great work you did on the mbr testing. I'll follow up on that another time. It buggers me as well and I want to do more testing there myself. Strange thing too, that (like with my Mach64) the install situation is not quite the same as the HDD full boot situation. Or whatever you want to call that ... Later Martin Monday, July 21, 2003, 6:44:44 PM, you wrote: >>>>>> "Martin" == Martin Althoff writes: Martin>> Martin>> I can join the TNT2 woes...
