I DL'ed RH 6.0. My RH 5.2 setup had /dev/hda5 as / /dev/hda7 as /u1 and the RH6.0 directory was /u1/public/ul/redhat-6.0/i386. I first used this directory to successfully NFS-install a 2nd machine on my home lan. When I attempted to use this directory to install on the machine which contains those files (i.e. a local install, not over NFS), the following stuff happened: it found the directory & ran the 2nd stage install OK. it found the packages and asked me if I wanted to confirm the individual packages OK. I spent a few minutes adding some packages to those which had been automatically selected OK. It then told me about the future /tmp/install.log OK. (so far so good) It then gave an error message about a symlink failure. But crap, wouldn't you know it, I didn't write it down. But the Alt-f3 console had some messages like: "filesystem already mounted, making symbolic link", and "/mnt/u1: file exists". (not exact quotes, sorry). Second [related] bug: After this error occurs, all the /dev/hda* filesystems get unmounted and any "Retry" or "Previous" or "Menu" things I tried resulted in a "text mode popup": "Unable to rebuild RPM database: Perhaps the disk is full?" (again, not exact quote). Anyway, I had to copy the entire directory to my 2nd machine and use the NFS install diskette instead. Good thing I got tons of space! Perhaps inappropriate here, but nice job all around on 6.0. -rb
