RE: RedHat 5.1 Xbased package installer...

[Stephen Newey]

I've installed here at work a couple of times and the installation never
worked when the CD-ROM was secondary master, and HDD is primary master,
unless I had a second HDD as primary slave. However, after installation
it works fine in it's original setup?? I read somewhere that it can be a
problem.
