First tried to upgrade an earlier RedHat 6.2 installation to 7.0. Worked fine but while booting the system after installation received a whole lot of error messages, saying that this and that file was in fact a directory. Couldn't halt the display so I could read the messages more carefully. Therefore tried to install RedHat 7.0 using the same Linux partitions at ver 6.2 were using. This caused the install program to crash. Now pasting contents of error report file anacdump.txt below: God Luck! /Charles H|binette PS. Retrying the installation by removing all old Linux partitions and recreating them.... Installation still ongoing, now seems to work fine.
