I need help please. K8V se deluxe, amd64 3000+, 500mb dvdrw lite-on sohw-1213s 128mb geforce fx5200 New box came in October. As 9.2 did not arrive until early November I tried knopix and a single cd version of 9.0. Both worked. Every time I install 9.2 I get messages saying that various packages have failed to install. The number of failures during one install varies between 1 and 3. They are not always the same packages, audiofile - autofs - atk-32bit - bootsplash - bzip2-32bit and others. If I enter yast on completion of the install sometimes the failed package is shown as installed. If the problem is the dvd disc, why do the failed packages vary from installation to installation. If the problem is the Lite-on, why do the packages vary. I have installed the failed packages, using Yast, and the system has run for about 2 weeks but it then crashed on boot. Sometimes a reboot would work but mostly I had to re-install. You will have noticed from this email that I am not one of the brightest or most knowledgeable people around so I would certainly appreciate any help available. Malcolm.
