It is on my package list - that includes things like anaconda, that the install scripts use, but are not strictly needed in my final install. My package list has kernel-BOOT. I talk about floppies because every one is different. Different machine name, the main one. That means different exim config, different /etc/sysconfig/network, different /etc/hosts, another /etc/uucp/passwd, another /etc/ppp/pap-secrets. Another LDAP preload. I want to mail the same CD, different floppy. Maybe I should burn a different CD every time. But I want people to download it off the net, in africa. That means the same CD, a different floppy. Bandwidth is expensive. I have all that - actually, it works. Back to the subject - I want the regular redhat thermometer install. Which package provides "formatting /var" as a red line moving from left to right ? I get that when I say "linux text" - and I want it back. Try it. I currently get (works fine ..) "formatting 44%" - I have never seen it before, I do not believe you have seen it either. Someone on this list has seen it, and knows why. Repeat - I do not want, or need, X. Cheers, Andy!
