I'm unable to duplicate any of the errors you're reporting on the 7600. I am able to install in English and Italian, in text as well as graphical mode. For graphical mode I'm using no extra parameters in the kernel arguments. I'm using the same ISO as you, downloaded after I uploaded it to the mirror source. Anyone else using an 8500?

The errors are the same... so maybe it is the hardware in some way fails. I want to try for the last time: can you tell me how to install in graphical mode? I tried and tried but I had got an error like: cannot find /usr/X11R6/bin/RGB.pm. It stays on the screen less then a second, the the monitor turn black and the system freezes. Regrads, Miguel

I first tried known languages (US, Italian, Spanish), then others: French and Hungarian worked. Up to now I am following the Franch installation (I have a little illusion to understand questions instead of Hungarian;) ) and I can say that Diskdrake fails too. I have repeated the installation 5 times and - after partitioned the disk - the error is: "error :(segmentswitch to console F2 for a shell is missed as the install crashed". The system freezes and non logs are avaiables. The last time I switched very quickly in the logs and I saw: "segmentation fault: seems like memory is missin as the install crashes" Regards, Miguel Beccari

Selected Italian|Italy, and the language changed, install proceeded. Switching to VT3, there was a warning on kmap magic for the 1st keymap it attempted to load, then it fell back to another one - no error on the main install screen.

(this is a live description ;) ) The MacOS see the cdrom, ok: it mounted it on the Desktop Folder. I try to unsit the sit file... no stuffit installed: too minime installtion (180 Mb). Scompatted the sit file from the network and copied to the Desktop the files. Double clicked on the star-iconed file... applescript error (maybe too minime installtion). Let's try directly from BootX app passing to kernel theese arguments: ramdisk_size=32000 automatic=method:cdrom text (pls tell me what to write for using a graphical installation: machine is a standard 8600 250Mhz). Linux is booting... no cdrom device found. Selected mesh scsi driver. Ok the installtion goes on (loading program into memory). Language choice: I select italian... failed to read kmap magic. I select all languages one by one... French works, Ungarian works... and so on. So the problem IS IN the cooker; not in the Mac, not in the burned cd, not in the ISO. Now... I do not know 1 word of french or Hungarian and all yoe told me graphical installation works. Can you tell me the kernel parameters to set in BootX app ??? Tnx Miguel Beccari
