Ladies and Gentleme -=20 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.
