Hi Jerry, I just did the same meaning I tried to install 7.2 from images I burned via that boot floppy and ran in exactly the same thing. The solution is to simply use the cdimage. It is able to make a reiser fs. But allthough 7.2 is very promissing and interesting, the installer is not. Your troubles won't be over just yet cause the installer is buggy in more than one field. I encountered the following in expert mode: 1. The disk space estimations are wrong, I had 2.5 G. and it saw only 1.7 G. This causes him to nag about insuficient space and probably mess up the whole packages decisions process afterwards. 2. Even if you select every single package that you want, and there're a lot, your choices are simply ignored and messed up even though the total install size was accepted by the installer. It simply installs what it wants to install (due probably to that 67% rule you see after the size warning). Even with auto dependencies on, it forgets the most elementary stuff like kdebase when you say you want KDE. 3. The printer install is totally bug ridden and fails on every account. After my 1st install attempt I ended up with a fvwm interface and no mention of KDE or Gnome, pretty desillusioning! In my 2nd attempt I chose the custom mode and unselected quit a lot. It again ignored my choices and installed almost everything. Luckily I knew I had enough space so it finished OK. Printer install failed again of course. 1. This time I had no isapnp.conf although I had it after the 1st install. 2. Once the install is done you can configure the printers with e.g. kups. This works. The results are great compared to the past (I have a HP890C). 3. Only my 1st cd drive is seen, not the second. Cdplayers don't work yet. 4. My scanner is not seen. 5. My ktuner for kde1 doesn't work with kde2. 6. Realplayer is missing. 7. Audio wasn't working (my isa SB16) and I had to run isapnp and configure modules.conf to get it going. So, there's a couple a weeks work ahead to get everything going and configured as usual, like I'm used to with linux. I'm not complaining about the content of MD7.2, it's simply great and with the INST& EXT cds you have a great database of s.w.. There's a lot you can learn. Much luck. Guy.
