I am having major difficulties installing 2.1 The problems center around the sysinstall utility. I successfuly installed 2.1 on a 500 meg ide drive as /dev/wd0a trying to add a second disk after install, sysinstall refuses to label/partition the disk. when you try to write the partitions out that you setup (/home and /usr2 for me) it complains that /dev/wd0a is read only and / already mounted. failed. i tried this both from the hard disk and from booting with a floppy same error. I then tried redoing the whole installation from scratch with both drives, same thing happens when writing partition labels. i am at a loss here. first drive is a samsung 560 meg ide, second is a western digital caviar 1.2 gig ide. both drives are recognized during the boot probe. daniel -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Daniel Leeds Unix Admin Octet Media Beatnik -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
