Hi Mike.
Good to see a few words from you. We depend on 'authorities' and you are seen
as one. So we listen to good people like you.
As to my RH7 installation - I tried various ways to get the installation to
prompt me for the second CD and it never did. I tried installing everything
and even doing a partial custom install. No luck. So I gave up.
With Wolverine I said install everything and it did; asking for the second CD
when it was 3/4's done. It works like a charm and I couldn't be happier.
Give it a try Mike, and you will see what I mean..
In simple words 'great stuff'..
