Yes, I understand. I have built several clients for our riv network using CentOS 6.x and Riv 2.15.2 now. I don't connect to the server until they are the same versions. The older systems load and configure easily but the newest, the lenovo, has been a pain. I can't even get the appliance DVD to load right. If I use legacy boot on it, it looks good but the hard drive won't boot. If I use the UEFI boot on the DVD, it skips the installation options and doesn't install all of the components needed for Riv to run with all of it's resources. If I install CentOS first, then Riv from the Paravel repo, I have to find all the missing components, it seems, unless I don't know all the steps. At this moment, I have everything working by that method except seeing the audio wave in the cuts and getting the RDXport error...so far.
I would like a clean install from the DVD appliance disk if I can figure out how to get around the BIOS problems. Old machines are easy to use but I need to drive a high def display with the main computer. If I can't get this resolved this week, I will return it to the store and buy a newer used Dell.
