Having just received my 8.2 I was eager to start working. I decided to go for an upgrade and found out that there where difficulties reading the installed packages of my 8.1 install. It hung. Well, there is always a new install so I decided to go for that. But the new install (tried them all out) also hangs and well there where it starts giving the install possibilities. The sentence "Evaluation of packing selection" stays there forever. In the beginning there is hard disk activity and the cdrom spun but after several minutes every sign of activity is gone. I cannot imagine why there is hd activity at all. It is always such an occasion that it is advisable to check memory. I have 256 Mb and indeed at 209.3 Mb there is an error. Could it be the faulty memory? As I do not have the possibility to get new memory in the coming days and being eager to get the 8.2 running, is there a possibility to restrict the memory use during installation of 8.2 up to the size of 209Mb as I can do during normal use? -- " May fortune favor the foolish. - J.
