I tested he following ubuntu versions 6.06 installs OK, remains emc stuff to be added 7.10 installs OK, but fails upgrade to 8.04, so as emc stuff is not avilable for this version, no go 8.04 fails install 9.10 fails install I am pretty sure now, that it is a bug hat entered in 8.04. I think it is this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/73955 I am willing to compile a module, do some testing etc. I only need clues as where or how to start on this. Alternatively: is there still a 6.06 live cd available (been looking for it in vain)? greeets chris __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sie sind Spam leid? Yahoo!
