Re: Newbie install problems

[Wiekus]

I looked at the CDR and DVD drive, the CDR is set to MASTER and the DVD 
to SLAVE, the two HD is also set MASTER and SLAVE.

I also tried to install this on a old Pentium 166 I have lying around 
with the same problem, it detects the SCSI CD-ROM drive and then sits 
there (I left it for more than two hours)...


What am I missing?
