Well,

The configuration of the system is as follows:

Intel Motherboard
Intel Celeron 266MHz CPU
DTC SCSI Adapter ISA
Quantum Fireball 3 GB SCSI Disk
128 MB RAM
3Com NIC

I have three partitions:

/       256MB
/var    800MB
/usr    1700MB
swap    256MB

I did the Alt-F2 deal, and it starts listing the files that is copying and 
then freezes with no messages.

Any help?

Pablo Quintana
