Didn't buy it.

Didn't download it. Borrowed a CD from a friend.
The point that seems to be ignored is that I have done several Linux
installs over the years. The last full install being 6.0.
I went into the 6.1 install based upon my history of doing previous installs.
That history included the fact that the RedHat installs always let the
installer dictate which disks got used and which ones didn't. I foolishly
trusted the 6.1 install to do the same thing, and it didn't. Call me
ignorant, stupid, whatever, but I trusted RedHat, as I said, based upon
history. If I would have been installing Linux for the first time, I would
have obtained the manuals, one way or another. I didn't feel the need.
Plus, once the install was started, it was too late to get/see any
documentation. And after the destruction of the disks, it was impossible
to reboot to the version that was running and go fetch any on line
documentation.
I had trusted Red Hat. See what it got me! Needless to say, I'll never
trust Red Hat again. That is not good, to have a customer no longer trust
what you do.
