RH9 Install
« on: 14 September 2003, 23:01 »
A while ago I got the install CD's for Redhat 9 from TuxCDs.com, but the install always completely froze when entering the "semi-graphical" state where it asks me if I want to check the CD media. This would happen no matter what options I chose, including text install, no hardware probing, etc. Yesterday I downloaded the ISO's and burned them myself, and tried to install from those. The md5 checksums all matched up and I burned them very slowly, and had the same exact problem as with the other CD's. If there are no errors with the images and it burned correctly (which I think is true), what could it be? I have RH8 right now, so I highly doubt it's some kind of obscure hardware problem. Any ideas?   :confused:

Hey, thanks for answering, and sorry I took so long to respond. It would freeze if I tried to check the media. It doesn't much matter now, as I also have Knoppix installed on the hard drive, like kidwithissues. I like it a lot, so I think I might try Debian next. Maybe I'll come back to Redhat again at some point, but as for now I'm plenty satisfied with this. (Oh, and I tried a Gentoo install inbetween... is it just me, or is that even worse than the slackware install?? I didn't complete either, but gentoo seemed insane. Anybody here run gentoo?)
