When installing packages, different ones fail at different attempts. Trying to redo the configuration without a full re-install just reboots the machine. The CPU is an intel '486DX/4-100 with PCI & 32 MB. Graphics is a TSEUNS ET4000. CDROM is a NEC SCSI Quad speed. I have an Exabyte 8200 tape drive but I would like to get a clean install before trying to back anything up. I do not want to use the 'ports' interface -- I often want to read other cdroms. >How-To-Repeat: Try to re-install >Fix: nore yet -- it chooses different packages to load every time. Very irratic on the ones it can't find on the CDROM; that it may have found the last time. I've done the CDROM & CDROM Drive cleaning routine. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
