I have resolved the previous problem. I had erroneously chosen the wrong 
display adapter for the PC. However, now I get the following error message at 
the very end of the install. I have checked the partition sizes and display 
settings. Everything appears normal. On reboot, none of the previously defined 
partitions were set up even though it had just finished copying all of the 
program to them. What happened to the partitions?

Could you give me more help than the reference to the bug report #21904? I am 
not allowed to access this report by the system. I get a "permission denied" 
error.

Thanks.

Comment 5 Michael Fulbright 2001-01-11 17:00:32 UTC
I made the bug publicly viewable.

Comment 6 Need Real Name 2001-01-12 16:40:41 UTC
This still doesn't help me any. I am using the latest downloadable iso images. 
What else do I need to make this work?
