Hi Guys
A slight update that might be of use to some. The stability issue seems to
have been resolved by repacing all insmods's with modpobe's in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local.
Hope that helps.

Does 'linux7.2' have a subdirectory called 'i586'? If you do, try typing
in the full path to that level. If you renamed the 'i586' directory
'linux7.2', you need to change it back again, as this is the folder name
that the installer is looking for. The 'i586' directory has 8
subdirectories: boot,

I am trying to install Mandrake 7.2 . I have downloaded the file

Doing this for every user didn't fix the problem. FYI, I ended up
uninstalling netscape and netscape-comm, deleting every ?netscape file and
dir, and reinstalling the RPMs. This fixed the problem.
Thanks to all.

It took me a long time to figure out how to burn CDs with Red Hat so I was

configured it as part of the install.
