However, my first attempt to download, burn and install gave me a CD that boot, but wouldn't install. I'm working on the second attempt now, and have verified the MD5 checksums. Ok... So the second attempt failed as well. I guess this is what I get for not being as involved as I have been in other releases due to personal issues :) Looks like 4.6, as it sits, is broken. It should probably be removed from the FTP sites. :) > Hi, > > Maybe this is the first time I am actually waiting > for a release(for the audio/vedio card on my new > amd box), I find the releasing process of 4.6 is > a great pain.
