I'm reinstalling 7.2 on a pretty old box ("Eve" - 266 MHz PII, 32MB Ram, junker
Everex Monitor, etc) and I am not getting asked whether or not I have the other
cds (I have the boxed version with 7 cds). I started an install on the
computer right beside it ("Speedy Gonzalez" - 866MHz PIII, 256 MB Ram, etc) and
I got prompted about the other cds right off without any trouble. So my
problem is I can't install all the packages and software I want and need
because it doesn't ask me for the other cds that are ready and waiting to be
used. Two points of note:
1. It did the same thing the first time I installed it (on "Eve", "Speedy" was
and has always been fine), I just want to take advantage of this reinstall to
get it right. (original install was a week or so ago, for what it's worth)
and 2. I get warned about being low on system resources at the beginning of
the install, but I completed it with the graphical installation when I
originally installed the system, even tested X a few times without ever
hanging. I can go through a text install but I don't get prompted for it there
either.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Isaac
