Dear Sir/Madam, I downloaded your Red Hat Linux 6.1 distribution, in order to upgrade the previous version 5.1, which is currently installed on my computer. The upgrade procedure stops responding, when reaching "Finding packages to upgrade" and with <ctrl>-<alt>-F1 I saw many errors in some python scripts (I can't remember right now, but I can write them down, if you wish). My system consists of four partitions (/, /home, /var, /usr) and I've noticed with <ctrl>-<alt>-F2 and with the mount command issued without options, that the file systems /home and /var was not mounted and the only partitions mounted under /tmp/sysimage was / and /usr. A friend of mine, having only / and /usr partitions had no problem with upgrade installation. Please, verify the above problem, because we want to upgrade our server, which has the same partition configuration plus /tmp, in the Lab as well and we don't even think about performing a clean install. Thank you very much in advance. Kind Regards, Panos Kavalagios System Administrator Hydraulics Laboratory National Technical Univ. of Athens
