I've had 7.2 installed twice. The first time, each time with bad results. I've a P-III 500 w/256MB RAM & I normall just go w/256MB swap -- very smoothe with RH 6.0 & 6.2. But either 7.2, Gnome, Ximian, or a combination of the three, would force me to have to restart daily. Each boot was a white knuckle extravaganza as I watched countless inodes having to be either fixed or cleared. Even 7.1 wasn't much joy. But I made the mistake of going two days before a restart. Not only was nearly every inode screwed, somehow my W98 partition was also corrupted. I've reinstalled 6.2, & had to go with W2k, as the two W95 boot disks I had wouldn't start the cd no matter what I did to various files. I'm working in W2k till I feel like configuring 6.2 -- now, without all the backed up config files I had been keeping in my Windows partition. > I've got to agree about sound. Just a note on sound. I've found that in 6.2, 7.1 & 7.2, if I leave my usb speaker (off the sub-woofer) plugged in, the sound card isn't detected, but when I run sndconfig without that hooked up, it configures fine, I re-plug in the usb, & the subwoofer (though not supported) also works. Odd. Oh, well. Meph _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
