Recently caught the Linux bug. Been studying and preparing, evaluating distributions, etc. I'm picking up RH5.1 soon, but just to get ready, I tried to install an old copy of 4.0 a friend had on my old P75. Install seemed to go OK, except that a few packages failed near the end of installation. When the system rebooted, everything seemed fine: root, swap, mouse, CD, floppy, all recognized and ready, BUT THEN INIT: ID "1" respawning too fast: disabled for five minutes INIT: cannot execute "sbin/mingetty" This is repeated through ID 6, at which point the system stops. No command prompt. I can't even look to see what's missing. Any ideas, short of wiping the disk and starting again? (which I'm going to do soon anyway..)
