ISTR, that under low memory circumstances, 6.5 wouldn't prompt for the 2nd
CD either. Memory (pardon the pun) is hazy on this as I only read about it
on this very list about 1.5 years ago. I think 32 meg was OK with 6.5 though
- people installing with 16 and 24 meg were having grief.
You can always just install the RPM's you want from the 2nd CD after you've
got a working system though...

installation
Nope, definitely not a single-cd install cd. It's the same cd that,
if
I pop it in the computer right beside this one, will pop up the
prompt
for the other cd's. Any ideas?
