It would not install on my Toshiba laptop (whereas 7.0 was fine). Based
on posts from Toshiba's support page others had the same issue - it would
simply hang at various points in the install. I finally gave up.

Sun's JDK (version 1.3.0_02) will not work w/o the following hacks (courtesy
of the java-linux list):
1. Create a symbolic link from /bin/cut to /usr/bin/cut
ln -s /bin/cut /usr/bin/cut
2. Modify the $JAVA_HOME/bin/.java_wrapper script by adding the
following line after the copyright comments:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
Also, be prepared to double your usual amount of swap space to run a 2.4
based kernel, i.e. swap == 2 * RAM, so you may need to re-partition if
you upgrade. I did not increase my swap and did experience several run
ins with the OOM killer.
