I have just finished installing RH 8.0 on and old P233 with one of those not-to-be-spoken-of CD-RWs that cannot read over 650 MBs. All the RH distros to current are less than 650 MBs for some reason. ;-) Ahem! Anyway....I can't speak highly enough about RH 8.0 allowing you to check all your CDs for readability before you start the install. Sure gave me the warm fuzzies before I settled down to a long install...

Hi guys, I am installing 9.0 on a box that was having some probs after updating 8.2 security updates.. Anyway, my CD's were burnt at 2x speed, the checksum's matched and it worked on another system I have.. Occasionally, with some hardware, the installer has probs with some packages.. and instead of offering to eject the CD so you can clean it, or asking if you want to retry, it just asks if you want to continue.. Why not ask if it should retry??? I even have more then one copy of mdk9.0, so I could stick in another copy.. but the install just asks if i want to continue.... My suggestion is "can we have the ability to retry, and even clean the CD??"" its annoying to have to stop the install to clean the CD (or whatever) and have to start from scratch again.. Anyone else ever had the installer give that message? I have a near new 48x CDROM that sometimes (fairly occasionally) results in that message.. and each time I've had to start the install again... rgds Frank ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
