Excellent Job Red Hat!
Well it's about time for a positive note. I just got my 6.1 CDs today. Did a fresh install on a Dual PII box. The install went flawless. If I wanted to whine about anything it would be that my monitor wasn't listed the the 100 or so that were there but it only slowed me down a few minutes. I think this is the best install process yet. The graphic came up, all my hardware was recognized, I answered the typical questions IP, passwd, partitions to use, etc. It took less than 10 minutes to install and reboot. It is working fine and I for one could not find any problems, but then I didn't do the text mode install nor did I do an upgrade. I have two other machines to upgrade and will try to do an 'upgrade' install and report on that later.

So if 1000 people had no problems but 10 did and they publish it here, then the perception is a 'bad' one to those who are just readers. -- Ray Atnip IBM AIX, ADSM, & SP Certified CTSInc.Net [EMAIL PROTECTED] wk: 972-934-7626 [EMAIL PROTECTED] hm: 972-539-2600 -- To unsubscribe: mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null

I had just tried to install jre-1.1.6_v5-2glibc and it requires that library. I had downloaded it from the contrib site.

Installing netscape 4.7
I just downloaded netscape-common-4.7-1.1us.i386.rpm.rhmask netscape-communicator-4.7-1.1us.i386.rpm.rhmask from updates/6.1us How do I get them to install? When I run rhmask against the netscape rpm on the 6.1 CD which netscape 4.6, it doesn't verify which is the only version I received with the CDs. -- Ray Atnip IBM AIX, ADSM, & SP Certified CTSInc.Net [EMAIL PROTECTED] wk: 972-934-7626 [EMAIL PROTECTED] hm: 972-539-2600 -- To unsubscribe: mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null

Problems with up2date
As of tonite, my up2date package now tells me that my user/authentication is not valid. It has been previously (since I recvd 6.1 in Nov). user id is [EMAIL PROTECTED] passwd - i could tell you, but then I would have to shoot you. server: priority.redhat.com program: /up2date/server.cgi Also I don't understand why the last four updates that were posted from redhat were never placed in the server/directory up2date uses. I thought that's what the extra $$ were for.

I have both added and deleted hardware and each time kudzu detected the change and made the appropriate changes. I'm sure it's is not perfect nor that it hasn't caused problems, but to say that it doesn't do automatic hardware detection is just not true. -- Ray Atnip "If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane." -- Jimmy Buffett -- To unsubscribe: mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
Unresolved symbols?
I'm getting lots of these with depmod -a. I have built a lot of uni-processor kernels and modules and have never had this problem. When I build them with SMP on in a SMP machine, I keep getting these unresolved symbols. Kernel is 2.2.15 w/RedHat 6.2beta Any suggestions? -- Ray Atnip "If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane." -- Jimmy Buffett -- To unsubscribe: mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null

Re: kernel-heades not installed correctly
rpm -i --force kernel-headers... Somehow the include files have been deleted but the rpm data base is only updated by rpm commands. forcing the install will put everything back.
