Hi Bill:
I had not noticed that but I do not think that it was the source of
my install problem. IIRC (it was about 4-6 weeks ago so no guarantee)
the install "hung" during drive partitioning and/or filesystem prep.
I know it was consistent as I tried it 3 times with the same results.
At the time I thought it was a hardware problem but when I reverted
to installing from the 4.2 CDs there was no problem. At the time I
wrote it off to a possible bad CD.
Thanks for the heads up. I will keep that in mind the next time I
do an install.
Regards, Hugh
