The base install failed saying that it could not umount several filesystems, including /dev/shm and something for usb (I don't recall the details). I then installed using a single partition on one hard drive. No errors. I later edited /etc/fstab and mounted my other partitions. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
