I tried to install RH5.1 and encountered the following problem. The mounting of the CD-ROM failed. When this happens, there are other options to consider. (ftp, other hard drive, etc) I tried the ftp option, to no avail. Other options were not viable (i.e. there is no other hard drive to install from, for example.) Note: I have an ethernet link to a WinNT box which has dial-up internet access, but the installation program did not connect to the ftp service running on it. I don't understand how a CD-ROM drive would not be recognized by the installation program, especially since both the BIOS and the kernel report the presence of an iso9660 device. As far as I know, there is nothing special about the CD-ROM drive, and I'm certain that it is connected properly. Is there a way to install a "bare bones" Linux using floppies, and only floppies? This would at least permit a login to occur. Paul Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
