He objected to: Okay, I'll keep it in mind, and perhaps give it a try if nobody can shed any light on the current install. The only reason I'm reluctant is that I'm on a satellite ISP - and a small and expensive traffic cap - so ***sucking down full install CDs*** would presumably chew up a lot of my allocation. He said that he was reluctant to download full CDs. As I said. > > > install, which he can get easily with the net install. And the DVDs are > > not going to solve the micro-code problem.

"However, on boot it tanks with a "microcode: no support for this CPU vendor" error." He did not mention having solved this particular problem. In fact, it looks as though he may still be having it. " I don't know the nature of the warning (beyond it underscoring that my CPU is neither Intel or AMD), and have no idea what possible ramifications it has." > > > They do solve your problem.

The OP said that he was using the net install CD in order to download only those things he wanted/needed. He has enough bandwidth for that. 13 DVDs were not a solution to his particular problem. I neither said nor implied that a limited bandwidth was an unusual problem. I said that Richard's usage was unusual. And I stand by that.
