During the install with new boot.img and "updates" image I received a halting error. I installed the "updates" disk as requested and then the message "Reading Anaconda Updates..." stayed on the screen for about 15 minutes while the hard disk read like crazy. After which I received the error: ----------------------------- Probing Mouse Type... Traceback (innermost last) File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 133, in ? result = xserver.startX() File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/xserver.py", line 100, in startX f.write(x.monitorSection()) IOError: (Errno 28) No Space left on device install exited abnormally ------------------------------- I duplicated this six times (hoping it would "just work" one of the times). Environment: -Attempting to upgrade RedHat 5.0 to RedHat 6.1. -Kernal: 2.0.32 -IDE hard disks -Updated boot image with "linux updates" typed at the boot prompt. -Windows NT 4.0 Workstation is installed on the first partition. -Not sure if this matters, but my (linux) file system looks like this: ---------------------------- /dev/hda2 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda8 /home ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda5 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda7 /usr/local ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda6 /usr/src ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2 noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 -------------------------------- Any other information can be available upon request.

This is pretty much nothing more than there not being enough space for the installer to do its thing.
