While I was installing v. 7.0 (which I downloaded from a mirror site, as your own site was a bit too slow), it gave me a lengthy error message that showed me some code that I didn't really understand, and when I tried to save the text to a floppy, it sat there for almost three minutes looking for it, then asked me to insert the floppy a second time (the floppy, of course, was in the floppy drive the entire time). Unfortunately, I was not able to save the data regarding the error. However, here is the system configuration data for the system that it was going to be installed to: AMD Duron 700 CPU FIC AZ11E motherboard 512 mb RAM (unspecified brand, probably generic) Maxtor 13-gb hard drive Logitech 3-button mouse (found under the installer as "generic 3-button (USB)" mouse) Microsoft Natural keyboard (hey, I didn't pick it!) ATI Mach 64 AGP video card LinkSys LNE100 10/100 auto-sensing NIC (didn't get that far in the install) Generic non-probed monitor (Socos 14" .24 dp (ag?) ni monitor, from about 3000 BC, or 1994 AD, whichever you want to believe) Toshiba DVD-ROM 16x Sony 16x/8x/32x CD-RW INSTALLATION INFO: Selected English workstation, auto-install/partition, set up default selections on hardware, and called it good. Set up time zone info, selected something else automatic (can't recall, the trauma of the moment probably wiped out my memory of what I was doing), and let it begin the installation. About two minutes into the install, it came up with the error message, and I remember "anaconda" being on two of the top five lines, one having "todoy" or some such (the top line, I believe), but I can't really remember what else was after that, as I expected the "save to floppy" function to work. It didn't, and the system spontaneously rebooted. When I retried the installation, it would recognize which hard drive I had, yet be unable to read or write. I'm simply not sure what happened. Advice would be appreciated, as I'm sick of trying to use Wintendo for serious work. It just ain't fast enough, and it's bloated. :( Thanks for any info you can relay to me through my email account: askr Thanks again, Ray Jenson Linux Newbie
If you could please try again and maybe write down the error message and the filenames/line numbers in the traceback it would help immensely.
