I was doing a fresh install last night using the DVD. At 7% completed, it hung. At first I told it to abort, then when it asked me if I really wanted to I said no and it continued (when I said Abort, the light on the DVD eventually went out). At 34% completed it hung again - this time I couldn't abort and the light on the DVD stayed on. I finally had to pop out the DVD for a second, and it seemingly went on w/ the installation. It was corrupted of course and I had to start over. The DVD hung again and so I decided to try a third time using the CDs. It successfully installed about 3 G worth of stuff off of the first 2 CDs. It asked for the 3rd CD and I put it in. It kept asking for the 3rd CD, and I couldn't eject it. I tried the "pin hole" on the front of the CDROM drive, and I still couldn't open it! I finally told it to skip the 3rd CD and it ejected it and asked for the 4th CD. I put in CD 4 and it continued on to complete the installation. I was able to boot it up, startx, etc. It seemed to work fine (so far....). My question is this: how do I find out what wasn't installed from CD 3? Or do I just wait for apps to crash.....:( TIA, Mike ------------------------------------------------------- Cleary_Mike@emc.com ------------------------------------------------------- Chaos reigns within.
