Hi all,


I'm having the damnedest time trying to get RH 6.2 onto my AS 200/4.
I've determined that the X gui crashes just about anywhere in the
install but if I quickly switch to pts1 just as I click the install
button the install will complete. BUT...

booting out of milo I get a Kernel Panic and the machine freezes.


The only successful install I got was to install RH5.2 and do an upgrade
but again making sure I switch  out of the GUI to stop it crashing. I
then have a god awful time trying to get the the Xserver to work ok.

MY AS has 160Mb, the latest ARC, 2gig main disk.

OH and there seems to be some serious documentation errors such as the
the boot linux gets call linuz instead of linux.gz - or is this
symptomatic of other problems ?


Any suggestions ?

TIA

Tim
