Redhat instalation

[Anthony Amaro Jr.]

OKay, here is what happened.       One day as I was living in bliss between Win 2000 and Redht 6.2, I decided that I didnt' like Win 2000 and I wanted it off my machine. As I proceeded to install Win 98, it re-wrote the MBR on my HD and installed itself in the windows partition. It left the linux partition alone. So far so good. When I realized that Lilo no longer existed, I decided to reinstall LILO from my redhat CD. Well, impatient to get back to my cherished linux, I accidently forgot to uncheck the "format partition" box and it effectively destroyed my linux partition in favor of a new one. Thinking that I could save it, I restarted my computer in the middle of the format....not a good thing to do. Well, that didn't work (Win 98 just booted up again), so I decided to completely reinstall Redhat completely... format and all. So I unleashed it and decided to go eat. When I came back, the computer installed everything, but froze on the completion of the last install package. So then I tried moving the mouse. A little window popped up saying "Performing post install configuration" and then it froze for good. So I restarted, and my computer froze upon bootup with the letters:   LI      I think Lilo wasn't fully installed. Thinking it was because my cd was a little scrateched, I borrowed a friends CD and tried it again. Same exact thing happened. So then I tried installing via text mode. It worked out fine, except for the very end again, when it gave me the following error message:   Exception error occured: File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 342, in?     intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/usr/bin/anaconda/text.py",     line 1165, in run         rc = apply (step[1](), step [2])     File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 702, in __call__         if todo.doInstall ():     File "/usr/bin/anaconda/todo.py", line 1251, in doInstall         self.fstab.write(self.instPath,       And then it freezes again.                       HELP!   Anthony
