Larsen" <k5di@zianet.com> To: <svlug@svlug.org> Subject: [svlug] Red Hat Version 7.2 Latest Just to keep you up to date on this version, I have found out why the cdrom drives didn't work. The boot loader doesn't load the modules cdrom and ide-cd. I am loading them in rc.local now with modprobe. Tried to load postgSQL but there are some library files missing. This morning I tried to load the rpm from version 7.2 for GNUCash a wonderful money program and it will not load because a long list of library items are missing. I'm smart enough to find these items in this version 7.1, check to see if they are there in 7.2 and if not find them on the cdrom(s) and load them. But it takes a lot of TIME! The bottom line of all this is that RED HAT GOOFED AGAIN! It is simple loader errors and boot bash files but a new Linux user will go nuts trying to get this version loaded! === Date: Sat, 8 Dec 2001 09:34:45 -0800 (PST) From: Bill Schoolcraft <bill@wiliweld.com> To: SVLUG <svlug@svlug.org> Subject: Re: [svlug] Red Hat Version 7.2 Latest At Sat, 8 Dec 2001 it looks like Karl F.

It's seems you have come out ahead on this also, congradulations. :) ===
