If you made a custom kickstart file and experience crashes during install, this can be for you : you got things like this in you package selection section %packages @ mail-server @ smb-server @ dns-server -gaim -xchat with -gaim and -xchat standing for "do not install gaim nor xchat", you should add them your architecture information : -gaim.i386 -xchat.i386 worked well for me ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
