Upgrading from 7.1 to 7.2 (.iso files) goes well until the
configuration of X. Probing is OK and everything is well, but
finishing gives the following error message:

/mnt/dev/null/.kderc
not a directory

and a hang here. Well we all know that dev files are not directories
:( Something wrong with the Perl script for the installer?  I had to
kill the install process and manually reboot.

7.2 seems to run, but in first attempt the boot hangs on NFS (no
network at boot time), solved by uninstalling nfs-utils-*.
Also complaints on char-major-4 not found and default.png also not
found for gnome to start. More to come... 

BTW: The upgrade of .rpms (500 MB) took 5.5 hours!! Even if my first
hard disk is very slow, should it take that long? Going from 7.0 to
7.1 did not.
