Ryan; During selection of partitions, did you alter the size of your swap
partition? This can have bad effects on your installation. Try using the
"Reccommended" installation method, then repeat installation using
"Customised" - Update , not "Install" . Remove any packages you don't want on
your system prior to doing the Customized Update. What you need here is a
stable installation first, then add the extra's that you want. Have you tried
doing your previous installations exactly the same way each time? If so, you
may have a bad sector on your hard drive, and the same package is causing the
same problem each time because it's on the bad sector. In which case it only
appears that this package is causing your problem, but in fact the drive is
the problem. Can you get by without the seiko printpro package? At least for
now? I'd like to suggest that you install as per above suggestions. When the
PC is running smoothly ( a day or so ) do the updates ( DrakConf / Update
software ), and then do the Seiko / Printpro package. Something else,...If
you have a second PC connected to the Internet, find a reliable Update mirror
site, and then DOWNLOAD the updates, don't let the "Update Software" utility
do it. Burn the updates to CD, and use "Kpackage" to update the P2 450
system. Make sure to use the "Check Dependencies" option in Kpackage when
doing the updates. I've found some minor problems with the updater, where it
doesn't always install library files related to random packages, but Kpackage
will warn you if any package needs additional files before allowing you to
install anything. Download the libraries or whatever it needs and install
them first. Hope this info helps.
