This machine previously had RedHat 5.0 installed on it and has been running
for 28 months, never crashed -- only rebooted for kernel upgrades (twice).
I've tried this installation twice today and it has failed approximately
1/2 way through each time with about 750 items installed and 750 to go.
Everything seems to proceed OK until 1/2 way through package install...
The screen freezes, not responding to keyboard or mouse. Didn't hang on
the same package both times, but was very close to half-way through each
time. Only escape was through reset button.
No error indication.
Machine is DEC 200 Mhz Pentium with 128 meg memory, a Diamond Stealth
(Trio 64) video card, Logitec 3-button PS/2 mouse, SCSI CDROM, ...
4 GB SCSI Disk partitioned
/boot 16M
/ 256M
swap 256M
/usr 2000M
/var ~1600M (rest of disk)
SCSI is AIC7xxx
Any suggestions? It's very painful retrying this because I'm selecting
individual packages, so package selection is tedious.
