It seems that suninstall under 4.0 requires a bit-mapped console for the "Installation" portion of the install. Once the installation was complete, I was able to switch back to a non-SUN console. So if you are using a non-SUN console, try borrowing a SUN monitor from someone and give it a try. Good luck! Steve Lindsey |-) uunet!x102a!mlindsey (407) 727-5893 :-) mlindsey@x102a.harris-atd.com
