Lesson reiterated, but apparantly not learned yet:
Never assume anything!
Prior versions of RedHat which came on two CD's had the complete standard
install on one CD, and source files on the other. Stupidly, I only
downloaded image one, and burned it to CD. Towards the end of the
install, it popped out the CD and asked for CD #2. Oh noooo! This left it
in a state where it would boot the old kernel, but failed to load the
tulip driver for my network card, so I couldn't get on-line to download
the second image. Thinking quickly, I installed the new kernel and
re-booted. The tulip driver now loaded (automatically!). Phew!
Downloading image #2 right now.
Somehow, this aborted install seems to have left my system in a very
usable state (aside from LILO). The sound card doesn't work right now,
but I'm sure I can resolve that. Most everything else seems to work fine
though.
I'm hoping that if I run the upgrade again, it will skip the already
installed packages, and basically just finish the install.
(Picture Chris Farley smacking himself repeatedly in the head, shouting
"stupid! stupid!")
