I have had a really hard time installing it on my system. I had to fdisk the drives a few times before it would load, for some reason it wouldn't format the drive fully before it tryed to install. Now Im working on getting ssh and my mail server going. I was able to get apache running and want to get everything else up before i start letting people hit my site. This hasn't been real fun to get going but I have learned alot.<br><br>Thanks <br>Jack<br><div> </div>Aim: Souleclipse69a<br>Yahoo: Pezman1016<br><br>"cleverly disguised as a responsible adult"<div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original
