Hi all, I'm attempting to install 4.2-Release on an 'older' packard bell system. I've read the archives and it seems that these systems are not exactly favorites for working well, but still, I'd like to give it a shot :) The problem (occurred with both 4.1-Release and 4.2-Release ISO's that I d/loaded): Everything goes great, up until the file copies start occurring. Every time it gets to the same point - copying over boot/support.4th, and the system hangs. It seems odd though that not only does the system freeze solid, but it also prevents me from using the keyboard shortcut to switch ports on my KVM (keyboard input is completely locked out). The hardware: Packard Bell Legend 130CD Supreme CD Rom = NEC CDR-272 (4x) Processor = P100 RAM = 72MB Motherboard = Packard Bell Agoura/Wildcat (Intel chipset, built by PB) Video = Built-in, Cirrus Logic Alpine GD5430 video chipset. Other: Chipset PCI064B Super I/O controller VL82C593 controller Any thoughts of what might be going wrong, and what might be a possible solution?
