Its a Qube 2. I removed the harddisk and put in a Samsung SV 1604N (160GB).

Hm, I could try it with the serial cable, if I find one. I assume, I should
connect it to the computer that runs the system from the Restore CD?   Where
exactly will the message be displayed? Do I have to login as root?  Sorry I'm
only used to Linux with X running *g*

And yes, I think the the installation finished (unless it lasts more than an
hour ;) ). The "starting up" screen was the last, that was displayed, so I
think, it tried to perform the reboot, that should be the end of the
installation process (or at least the end of the automatic part of the
installation).
But I could try another installation and leave it for some more hours :)

Bye,
Yves
