Hi Paul

I had no real issues installing over rh62.
Needed mount, nfs-utils, I had to delete some rtlinux2
include diectories and had to force the odd rpm for valid reasons.

regarding BDI-2.09, it died in anaconda after disk partitioning 
then selecting KDE workstation. Python traceback with no obvious cause.
I can manage one language at once (apart from local flavour english) and this
year I'm afraid ite perl.  

I think its just an unusual box. In past ages it was my fileserver then
firewall, and its run various linuxes for many years. But it 
flatly refused a RH7.2 install I tried on it last week.  
ppro 150,

the 8029 is running ne2k-pci drivers, and I was doing a dhcp/ftp install 
from my main box here. (cdrom died). Thats how rh62 installed.

regards, john
