Ladies and Gentleme - The user installation interface for the 3.3 product leaves very much to be desired when compared to the linux world's current dists (RH 6.1, Mandrake 6.0+, Caldera, etc). I have tried to install this package several times and continuously get errors on packages not being foud or the install locking up(stopping). There is very little recourse in back navigating the config screens. If you return to a screen, there is nothing new presented showing previous choices made (ie did I goof up and not enter anything?) The install is SLOW as compared to the linux installs. If I choose all I want all!! the cd was not bootable, it couldn't decide what was the bootable device. Since I haven't gotten th ebox up on 3.3 I can't evaluate what else may not work or work. I should be able to install and stumble around and have something in less than 30 miuntes on this machine. It may not be what I wanted but it should go ping in that time. I am very fair and when I find something I like, I am stupidly loyal. Right now I feel I wasted my $$ and am wasting my time.
