Problem #1: 1. I bought the FC2 DVD from cheapbytes.com. 2. I ran the "autorun" program on the DVD. 3. The standard package update screen comes up. 4. I try to do the installation. 5. The error message "Installation cannot continue until the following packages are found" and provides a list of packages such as 4Suite, ghostscript, and cups. Anyone have a solution? I'm upgrading a RH9.0 laptop (Compaq Evo N800c). Problem #2: I'm doing the above installation because I need to run a 2.6 kernel (I'm currently using 2.4.20). I rebuilt the 2.6.6 kernel within RH9.0 (no compilation problems) and configured lilo as usual. However, when I try to boot the kernel, I get the following: error 19 mounting ext3 pivotroot failed:2 umount /initrd/proc failed:2 kernel panic: no init found try passing init=option to kernel I never had the above problem when building/installing a custom 2.4 kernel. I'm installing FC2 in the hope that perhaps some of the out-of-date (RH9) build tools that I'm using to compile/configure 2.6.6 are the problem. However, this feels more like an installation configuration problem. Anyone have a solution? TIA, Steve
