Hi.

   I am having trouble installing and/or upgrading to 8.0.  I dl'd all but the source RPMs (suse/zq1).  Booting from the install floppy's is no problem.  When I choose the  'UPGRADE' option, I get this message:

             "No linux root partition found".

Then I choose "New Install".  No matter which partition I choose as the 'NEW' root, I get this message:

       "The correct source mediunm could not be mounted."

   Details: 
"mount:/dev/hda2 already mounted or /tmp/mnt busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda2 is mounted on /mounts/extra"

/dev/hda2 is where I am installing from.

What is causing this?  Am I missing something not dl'd??

Thanks in advance
Aubrey
