Interesting!!!! Ok, I've been back trying to get a little further, and more or less followed your details here Stew.
I chose console tools, KDE, and I think that was pretty much it, and this time, I got past the request for the second disk too. It actually mounted and completed the install. While rebooting, I still had a few more errors then the 3 you mentioned yesterday. I also had errors with the cardmgr and something else (will forward you the messages later if you are interested) For some reason, when configuring X 4.2, I only get one colour depth option of 65k colours.. I thought that monitor handled 'millions of colours'. Also, when I get the X login screen appear, the login box is not the usual grey, you can't actually see the drop down box to choose your window manager until you click on it. I still can't get the modem to respond using kppp. I have tried all your earlier suggestions, and still kppp says it can't find the modem. Going back to check the rpm -K suggestion! Stew, do you want me to keep providing all these things I'm coming up against? Is it too much info.. or does it help?
