Be sure to tell us everything you know about your machine (intel architecture? What processor(s)? What motherboard/bios? and so on). As a shot in the dark: The installation proceedure asks you if you want to use the graphical or the text based installer. Try the text-based one. Another shot in the dark: it offers you a choise of boot-loaders, grub (I think) and the older "lilo": try "lilo". I suspect it's better tested and works on a wider variety of machines. (My experience with installing: first time I tried graphical/grub, it acted like it installed, but it evidentally didn't put anything on the hard disk. Second try I went text/lilo, and it mostly just worked. Another possible differnce though: maybe I selected more packages as part of the "Custom" install than I did on my first try, I'm not sure.) Oh, and I've heard it suggested that you should stay away from Ext3... evidentally some people are reporting data corruption problems with it. To play it safe, choose Ext2 as your file system (the Ext3 default is new with Redhat 7.2). (Redhat has a history of shipping with stuff that isn't really ready for prime time. This is one page they've taken from Microsoft's marketing: they like to advertise "features", even if they really need more work.) _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
