5 reinstalls? and you give up?? Come on now, Arman Where is your
spirit of adventure?
I obtained LM-6.5 a year ago - I installed that more than 20 times
because of messups I made before upgrading to LM7.0. While using
7.0 I maintained a counting system on the front of my monitor for
reinstalls
and restarts.
Reinstalls 57!
Restarts due to F$%*ups 856 !!!!
And you are going to can it after 5.
If the name of the alternate distro is anything to go by I guess you
just might be installing 5 times there before giving up.
There is a tremendous record of help and assistance on this list, have
you really tried it? A search of my archive here only finds one
mail tyo this list - The one to which i am replying.
Cheers
John
