Can't say -- beyond bad coding. This kind of thing is much
more common in M$ os' & apps -- things which ~should~ work, but
will in some installs but not in others. I've a P-100 still with
RH6.0 which I'd had (for various reasons) had to reinstall 3-4
times. The only consistency in the biggest problem was that the
box couldn't find the network even after entering the settings
correctly during the install(s). Each time, there were
different, odd settings in the network scripts.
That box, of all three I have here, won't accept lilo during
install, but will after first boot & running /sbin/lilo, & won't
connect to my lan (let alone access the gateway & beyond) till I
edit the network scripts. The other two do fine.
I've not got lm7.2 on the two faster boxes with only minor
problems due to bad app coding either fixed or discarded in
favour of an another app.
Wish me luck -- I'll be installing lm7.2 on a P-Pro166 (after I
get a new video card) for my brother, RH6.2 via ftp on a 486
laptop (had RH5.0 on it a while back without X) & FreeBSD on an
HP Netserver 486/33 (also needs a video card) soon. If you're
interested, I can let you know about any oddities.
