No such luck with win2k, something eventually bogs it down and forces me to reboot. All in all, I can't wait for Linux to get a stronger hold on the desktop market.

It happened to me when I did use floppy with older version hd.img than the one in the 8.2 beta3. It was unable to find the proper version of module to install (which is need). Why does it need these specific modules? I think it would be nice if the boot.img could be one that you could use from distribution to distribution. Basically one version should be able to perform with the same hardware from time to time. If you want the new modules then that is fine and you should be able to run then with that image. I see these images as self-contained systems that just have to execute until they have established the real kernel and its operating environment, end let the control pass to the real kernel. So this kind of bootstrap should be independet of the linux kernel and its modules. Maybe I am wrong. Keld I do not know it. It is a question to the developers team. Unfortunately I am not programer. The same question we can ask regarding any other part of this OS. Something that is working in one release is broken in other, i.e., InteractiveBastille: when you start (well, when I try it), I got message about line 256 ... B.T.W. I have 8.2 beta3 installed, this same was on beta2. After commenting out this line it works fine! So what it is? It look like rush Microsoft style. Faster, faster ..., and it happened. But if you check up (in the Bastille example) how many people are working on it, at last the names of them are there, you can wonder what going on. Irek

Re: [Cooker] HD install from the isos does not ask for the second iso...
Marc-Éric Dupuis wrote: Hi I tried with the first and third beta of 8.2 to make the install from my hard drive with the hd.img floppy on the first iso. The probleme is that it asks for the name of the iso but does not check to see if we have another one so the packages start copying and then in the middle of the install error messages start to appear saying that a probleme was encountered while installing package-.rpm. The installer should ask if we have another iso... I think being able to install without burning CDs is very important for testing... Also I would like to ask the peoples responsibles for the releases to take their time, there is no need for a new distro every 6 months... I didn't have the time to get the second beta isos that the third ones were already available and now I am affraid that the next one will be an RC as past times... Anyway, have a nice day everybody!
