Nigel,
Try install Mandrake 10.1 and compare the time, Is it the same?

Hi Nigel,
maybe your install image is broken ... :o) Also, have you tried Ctrl+C or the interactive boot ?

I have now installed a new hard disk into the old box (P4, 3c905, 256MB) that has been running MNF since 2002 and I have the same problem. Something has changed because I am trying to install on the exact hardware as I did in 2002 except for the new hard disk. Could it be BIOS settings? Any ideas?

Hi again Nigel,
... Oh, 2 hours, you say ? Hum, that's not normal. Usually, you need to wait for about 2-3 minutes ... but maybe your computer is very old :o) Have tou tried to enter Ctrl+C to stop that command or boot the computer using the interactive mode in order to bypass that ?
You might also have a hardware issue ...

Thanks Florin. It's been hanging there now for 2.5 hours. MNF2 beta certainly does not have that problem but I do not want to risk using it in a production environment. I guess I'll wait for another 2 hours and see what happens:-)

Hi Nigel,
No, you don't miss anything. You simply have to wait a bit for the first boot because there is this script that tries to import all the install settings to the web tool configuration. The boot will eventually end up by passing this step and give you the shell login.

I just re-installed MNF1 on a new box. When I restart the box, it gets
to a point where it says "Updating MNF Configuration" and hangs there
for a long time. I have another MNF firewall that has been in use since
2002 and I don't remember ever having that problem when I set it up. Did
I miss something? Any ideas?
