Please provide the version of setup that you were running, the version of the Windows OS you're using, a copy of your mount table (which you get by typing "mount"). FYI, setup prints the build date and version every time it runs. You were installing into a new, empty directory, right? It would also be useful to see the results of a "ls -lR" in the directory that you were making your "root". cgf >I successfully have b20 installed and running for about the past month or >so. > >Here are a few snippets from the setup.log file (I'll email it if someone >wants it; it is 648K.
