So far, 8.2 installs FIRST TIME on every platform I've tried -- NICE!! This may come as a surprise to Civileme; but 8.2 even installs on a Toshiba Tecra 500CDT with only 32MB in graphical mode... :^) Although I'm debugging 8.2 X problems... So, I'm running 8.1 on it at the moment...
LILO problem: While installing 8.2 (separate / and /usr from 8.1 install), when in the step where I can add another OS to lilo, I specified "linux8.1" with /boot/vmlinuz on /dev/hda5... nothing else; yet this is what got added: image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux8.1 root=/dev/hda5 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-6mdk.img read-only ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Wrong! Reverting this entry to what I had in 8.1: image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux8.1 root=/dev/hda5 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append=" devfs=mount" vga=788 read-only restored my ability to start X in 8.1...
