            2.3.x boots straight into the installer. What screen does it leave you on when it's booted up?

                it should automatically boot into multi-user from there, you're saying it never passes that point?

                  Now I find that it loads into the installer. It is a Pentium III, it's just acting slow, and I was expecting to see the i for install prompt. Thanks for your help.
