Should not be a problem. It means that the partition containing the /boot directory is beyond cylinder 1023. In the past this was likely to prevent the kernel from being reachable by the boot process. Should be OK nowadays (but I don't know if dual boot with XP makes a difference). In any case it will not prevent a successful install. > > 2. when installing packages (at random stages): "There was an error > installing [package].

Press the OK button to reboot your system." The media > has checked out fine. Sounds like hardware/media problems. Does it always occur with the same CD? Try to get a replacement CD. -- Bob -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
