No, you should have a dikette ready with that driver on it. The 
preboot screen allows you to extend or replace the 3 default drivers 
with one not listed there.

The easy install means always that you're using dhcp. If you works 
with fixed IPs you must go through the advanced install. That will 
give you at least more control over anything.

Correct - it recognises NO sound driver. Even as mmos2 is installed 
during the base installation NO sound drivers gets installed. It is on 
you to finalise the base install by tune upp your desktop as the guide 
lets you and thereafer shutdown and reboot to HD, insert CD #2 fire up 
install,cmd in its root and find out your soundcard and install its 
driver.


As a matter of fact I didn't save the uniaud/genaud drivers. Can

HOBBES is the source for such things.


I think I will have to go through the

hobbes.

Yes.
