I changed the installer to ignore the limit. Guess what? The cows _never_ came home -- in the virtual terminal with a shell while installing (ctrl-alt-f2), I ran something like "while true; do uptime; sleep 60; done", and it started taking longer and longer between each time it succesfully ran uptime -- I finally stopped it after it took a dozen hours to complete the loop. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
