I had just installed the Beta 10 (I have a set of partions that I experiment with) and
everything went fine except for a couple of minor things.

The first was at the end of the install it said "click on the forward button" instead 
of the
NEXT button... (picky picky picky)...

The next was a bit more of a problem.  I have a Nvidia GeForce FX5200 and it so far
hasn't liked that for X windows (have to use an old 8 mb ATI Rage card which works
fine), but I have to search for drivers for the better card.   I tend to use the old 
ATI
card because my real work is under the 6.2 RH and I don't want to mess with updating
the world (Have to use the old kernel for some work stuff).

I am having a bit of trouble with GRUB.   I have 2 RH, Win ME, and memtest86 setup on
the GRUB menu.   Grub has worked fine for this up till the Beta 10 install.  I have 
two HDs,
hda and hdb, hda has the WinME C partition and the 6.2 RH partition.   The hdb has a 
Win partition 
and the Beta 10.

The odd thing is that when I boot Grub says it can't find the image if I boot from the 
menu.  If
I type c, then the kernel and rootnoverify parameters that are in the grub.confg it 
works just fine.
I have to manualy boot the 6.2 partition (which is on hda5 and is specified as hd0,4). 
 

The partition on hdb boots fine from the menu (the beta 10).

Any ideas? The grub.conf is exactly what I type (kernel, rootnoverify, then boot), but 
from the
menu the RH will not boot, the WinMe boots fine.  Is there any known problems with 
booting off
of a boot partition versus having the boot in the root partion?  I have the boot on 
hdb in its own
partition, but the boot where the kernel for 6.2 is in /boot in the root partition.  
There are no typos,
I named my 6.2 kernel "cdrom" and type in "kernel /boot/cdrom" and "rootnoverify 
(hd0,4)" then
boot which is exactly what is in the grub.conf.  When I type in the kernel command it 
finds the
image, from the menu it does not.

Thanks
