I REALLY Don't understand this. The First installation on this machine (yesterday afternoon), went flawlessly, using the traditional installation method. Today I noticed that there were some issues with the machine not running well, so I decided to perform another Installation.
That's when the problems were encountered. Now, after selecting the alt2 method of booting, the filesystem reformats without issue. Now after package selection, I am installing rpms once again. BTW, the ALT2 (boot from Installation CD #2) indicated that this was an 8.2 installation??????????? HELLO? Mandrake, Have you heard of Quality Control? "Albert E.
