Well Mike, I have a dual-boot machine (NT & Slackware with ext2, Fat16 & NTFS). When I tried to install RH8.0 "workstation", it complained about partitions, and prompted to be corrected (boot loader will take care of finding the boot sectors and such). I said 'Yes' (taking a chance). Then a dialog box popped up with some error msgs. It's tool late in the night, so I just ignored the dlg box.
To avoid re-partitioning, I tried "Desktop" and other options as well. I don't get it, when Slackware found everything nice and clean (and installed of course), how come partitions became alien for RH8.0 :( Anyway, I partitioned my 20GB with Partition Magic 5.0. And, now after downloaded the RH8.0, my excitement of having RedHat didn't last a little. I will try in next couple of weeks, and will post my results. Good luck with your upgrade :) - Emin -----Original Message----- From: Mike Doran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, October 13, 2002 10:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: (clug-talk) wget RH8.0 For those of you that haven't been able to get RH8.0 the following is downloading now at 425 K/s: wget -vct0 ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/redhat/8.0/en/iso/i386.* The line will be wrapped. At 25 min per iso I should have it installed this afternoon. Any one have any thoughts on doing an upgrade rather than a clean install.
