I just burned a 8.2rc1 from a mirror. I checked the md5 of the ISO using md5sum -c -> OK.
I boot it on a laptop that has mdk8.1 I chose french, upgrade recommended, and ... window no longer refresh (only the colored background remains, and the "Mandrake Linux 8.2" bitmap on top of screen). X cursor stays with the "watch" icon (I can move it). Nothing more. Here's the log on tts/1: Entering step `Choose your language' Entering step `Select installation class' Entering step `Hard drive detection' Entering step `Setup filesystems' Entering step `Configure mouse' Entering step `Choose your keyboard' aewm: X error (0x8003e8): BadWindow I reboot and try again. The problem disappears. (Upgrade is in progress now). Maybe a race condition somewhere in the installer ? If it happened to me, it may happen to other people in the future :-/ (I guess there are more urgent issues anyway ?) -- St�phane Gourichon - Labo. d'Informatique de Paris 6 - AnimatLab http://animatlab.lip6.fr/ - philo du dimanche http://amphi-gouri.org/ "What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?" -- Ghandi
