-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just found a bug. I tried to do something fancy with my system and screwed it up (as I do from time to time). So I tried to reinstall RC1 and it wouldn't work. I reinstalled RC0 and then tried to update, however, it wouldn't upgrade the "/" partition. It seems that there is a problem with the types of journaling.
I finally was forced to reinstall Caldera's 2.4 as no version of RL would force a complete re-format of the selected partitions. The problem with that is that different partitions had been formatted using different versions of ext2, apparently, as e2fsck from RC0 did not like the partitions and would not recognize most of my partitions either as ext2 or ext3 partitions. I reformated using mkfs under RC1, however that still left the "/" partition in a state where RC0 said it could not read it and RC1 did not recognize it as a valid or upgradable. I finally gave up, and redid 2.4 and then installed RC1 on top of that. It finally worked. The problem, as I understand it, is that, if the installer THINKS it has a valid ext2 partition, it does a fast format (removes file records only) instead of actually reformating the partition. I would recommend for this purpose that only a full reformat be used for the installer. I suspect that's what's behind several problems people have had installing rl over other distributions. - -- Robert Black Eagle Bus.
