Did you make a separate /boot partition? I've gotten one report that the code which tries to prevent you from making a /boot with an incorrect filesystem type is itself incorrect. It would be great if you could try beating on that part of the installer a bit; try making /boot ext3, HFS (shouldn't work), etc. I really wish UML worked on PowerPC; then it would be a lot easier to test the partitioning code. > Which term is preferred, `host name' or `hostname'.

I think you'll have people telling you both are correct. It's a lot like "filesystem" versus "file system". The former is very popular in common usage, but you'll usually only see the latter in formal works. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
