I haven't noticed problems with the CD-ROM before this. I just upgraded this machine from 6.2 to 7.0 using factory 7.0 CDs. But it still fails to upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1, even with factory 7.1 CDs. > > > The 7.1 CD crashes when I try to do a graphical install with an > > error message about GRUB. > > 7.1 doesn't know about, or use, GRUB. My mistake. It's a Gdk error I get during the attempt to upgrade to 7.1, not GRUB. > > > If I try to install > > 7.1 in text mode, the installation dies during the copying of the > > install image to disk with an error message about not enough disk > > space.

I meant 2 GB. I had 2 GB free on my root partition, and the copying of the install image to disk failed, saying that I was probably out of disk space. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
