Re: Three things seem to be broken in RedHat 5.1 CD-ROM
1) On my computer installation forgot to create link in /lib/modules named
preffered.
2) /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit had to be modified by hand in order to careate
modul dependencies on each bootup.
3) 'quotaon -a' stuck with no reason during bootup.
4) gnome install doesnt work.

|1. LILO was not successfully made to work, so a boot

| packages on the RedHat executables CD-ROM (1st
| CD-ROM). I can however navigate and install packages
| which I see. I only can't see what new packages are on
| the CD-ROM.
|3. The non-GPL'ed BRU backup software does not work

|Did anyone else see similar problems to problems 2,3
|above?
|What did he/she do about problems 2,3?

|I am NOT asking for advice yet - I am just asking for
|other people's experience with RedHat 5.1.
|When and if I'll ask for advice, I'll post as many details
|about the PC configuration as possible.
