giovanni: thanks for the tip about the disks, the text-based install wouldn't boot because of the inodes problem, i didn't realize i could solve that by unplugging some drives. looks to be progressing fine now.
james: i never got 134 to install... the text-based install would boot into maintenance. standard livecd would boot but gui install would fail silently. thanks guys. milosz On Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 9:23 PM, James C.
