I can second this. Today I upgraded 2 machines from 8.0 and 8.2 with 9.1 cdroms. I noticed 3 problems : 1. graphic install ou text install - If you first choose an installation language in simple mode, then change your mind and use the advanced mode to select several other languages, then ALL languages choosen in simple AND advanced mode will be installed. Unfortunatly once you click on next you cannot revert language changes without restarting the installaion process from boot. 2. In some low res graphic modes (vga16 for ex) there is no progression indication on screen of what's going on between the end of cdrom boot and the second stage install. One can think the process is frozen. If graphics cannot be used there, an ascii progression could have ben provided. 3. I had the problem noticed by Rocco above. In graphic mode, I was not asked for an upgrade and went to the disk partition menu. As this seems suspect to me, I rebooted in text install mode. There I was asked to upgrade my installation. A silly bug here... Hope it will not break too many installations ! An errata could be posted asap, as soon as others confirm this behaviour... -- Pascal __________________________________________________________________ Running 2:35, 4 users, load average: 0.45, 0.60, 0.43 (gcc version 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk)) Kernel Linux version 2.4.21-0.13mdkenterprise
