Well, my first install of Mandrake 8.2 beta via the ISO's was a success. So I figured I'd try again, just as a scientific test.
The second time, install went ok up until the end of package installation. I was already on the second CD, and there were a few packages at the end that apparently the installer couldn't find. After prompting me if I wanted to continue anyway ('Yes' to each one), the installer told me that there were some 'important' packages that weren't installed, told me that no hdlist was found, and then booted me back to the partitioning screen. Now every time I try, it stops at the end of the second CD and gives me those errors. Anyone seen this? Thanks, Peter
