I've installed DP2 4 or 5 times now= =20 (each time reformatting). The first time the installation program acted really weird and didn't do = the=20 install correctly. The second time I had weird random core dump problems= so=20 that I couldn't even log in. The third time I think was with the trap 12= =20 when I started tcsh...now I reinstalled and it SEEMS to be working fine. = At=20 least enough that I was able to compile a custom kernel, and compile most= of=20 the gnome suite from ports too (and then to remove it ;). There was ONE=20 problem I had -- one of the g++ include files (limits) had one line that = was=20 corrupted and I could fix. the line was like: coint name_more; (somethingl ike that) when it should have been const int name_more10; (line 1710 iirc) so basically it seems like I'm getting random data corruption at random t= imes=20 with random results. fwiw, I'm running stable off the same harddisk as I= =20 type this. sorry if this throws a wrench in things again.
