I got the same thing that Tonya did: I found when I pressed Alt F3: > > mounting hdc on /tmp/rhimage as type iso9660 > creating directory /tmp/rhimage rc=0 > calling mount (/tmp/hdc, /tmp/rhimage, iso9660, -1058209791, (nil)) > removing decide file /tmp/hdc > done here > method selection completed > state saved to /tmp > error in exec of second stage loader :-( > error no such file or directory and i had trouble with the bootdisk that i got right off of the cd. What myself and a friend ended up doing is we booted into 5.2 (the then current install) and mounted the 6.1 install cd. then we ran the update from there. Worked like a charm. must be the bootdisk problem, although I tried using the 5.2 bootdisk that i had and still had the same results as trying with the 6.1 bootdisk.... what a weekend! and it's still monday..... :-| _________________________________________________________ "The object is not to see through one another, but to see one another through." ************ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxchix.org
