I am having extreme difficulties
installing/upgrading to Mandrake 6.0. My system is a Pentium 133 w/ 48 Meg
RAM, 1.2 & 1.6 HDD, S3 Virge DX w/ 4 Meg, no Modem, 2 NICs (1 for cable
modem, 1 for internal net), dedicated to Linux.
I successfully installed RH 5.1, then new install
of RH 5.2, then new install of L-M 5.3, then upgrade to RH (raw hide) 5.9, then
upgrade to RH 6.0. My attempts to upgrade to L-M 6.0 met with abject
failure! I could not complete an upgrade past the mouse
configuration. OK, says I, No Problem!. I'll just reformat and
re-install. Turns out I was half right - I could format, but not
install.
Numerous install attempts ended with 1) failure on
mouse configuration, 2) failure on network configuration, and 3) about a dozen
"install exited abnormally - received signal 11 sending termination
signals...etc., etc." which occurred at various points in the install from
copying files to configuration menus. All upgrade/install attempts came
from any of four CDs I burned from a d/l'd ISO image (I have four because I pass
them out to friends not blessed with a cable modem and a burner).
As I write this plea, I am d/ling another ISO in
hopes that my first was somehow corrupted.
If anyone has any information or ideas, I would
REALLY like to hear them.
Thanks,
Greg
