< I am not an experienced linux user> 7.3 Pro I'm on my ninth attempt to set up a new installation . . . no joy! Every attempt results in files not being installed, etc.. The last try I used text mode and got the least amount of errors with the files, one (1), reporting ERROR <yast2-config-lvm_config> I continued and invoked the GUI interface and then, as root, tried to run yast in order to find and install the above file. Results: linux:~ # yast [date/time] Program aborted! ERROR: Exec Command, DETAIL: -127 FILE: SystemCmd.cc LINE: 435 I've tried all sorts of drive configurations from only SuSE to combinations with DOS/WIN and get similar results. The files that report ERROR are never the same. I've ignored the errors and gone on to the point I was able to download the updates but the machine always produces weird results. re-mapped keyboard, random lockups, failed networks and on and on and on As a side note . . . I tried to update this box, SuSE 7.2, but it failed. Thank goodness I can post with this one! <grin> Here is what I'm trying to get up and working [7 days]. The box is a 1x1x30G; 1G CPU [AMD] 1G RAM 30G Drive [IDE] Present DOS 6.20 C:\ 2G D:\ 2G E:\ 2G the rest is SuSE 1.44 floppy CDROM [IDE] NIC Netgear FA310TX Video GeForce 2 MX200 nvidia Hansol monitor 710E Modem in external on ttyS0 Goal: have the 7.3 box as firewall and server, for small home LAN four (4) machines OS/2/WIN/SuSE, at the cable entrance. Cable not yet installed. I'm off to try yast2 and see what happens. -- Best Rgs., Ed

If it fails again, try memtest and also try and get your Hard drive scanned by your manufacturers utilities if they exist. Failure like this could well be a hardware issue . Even with Yast2 you can choose a minimum install, followed by network/server, this worked well for me (installed almost 500MB of data).

Matt, O.K. thanks . . . I started memtest on the full 1G and began getting errors. I have pulled one stick out and will continue testing. -- Best Rgs., Ed
