Is it? 5.1 starts up an X-server and asks these questions in a
graphical screen.

Thanks, it confirms what I suspected. Now if I only knew why.
Things are getting curiouser and curiouser.
After installing 5.1, I mounted the 5.1 iso image through DRAC.
/var/log/messages reports "Jul 8 12:56:23 dsrv546 kernel: cdrom: This
disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!"
But if I connect the 5.2 iso image, nothing gets logged.
Kind regards,
Herta
