I'll chime right in with the rundown to help hasten any ideas:
AMD K6/2-400 on an ASUS P5A motherboard
128mb RAM
17gb drive dedicated to Win98 (yeah, I still got work to worry about)
5gb drive for Linux with 127mb swap partition, rest dedicated to Linux
Creative AWE32 sound card
NE2k compatible 10base ISA NIC hooked to cablemodem
RTL8139 compatible PCI NIC hooked to hub and two other computers
BTC 44x CDROM
Mitsumi 2x/4x/8x internal CDRW
ancient Colorado qic80 drive
I can't come up with any reason why it should fail... anyone else? As to
the bad mirror... um, don't think so. Copped the files from rpmfind.net,
and tried both network and local hard disk installs with exact results,
and even grabbed fresh img's after the first couple failures.
