RE: Install problem (aborts w/signal 9)

you would normally need a swap partition also.
i think this was covered in a thread yesterday?
i've been told swap should equal the ram on your system
when building paritions, make one the size of your ram, then click on
type... or something similiar (i dont have it in front of me)
THEN select <swap>
then the 'mount point' box should gray out
see if that helps---Dave L.

Hopefully this is not a complete show-stopper...

When I install from the BDI disk, everything goes fine until it gets to
the installation of the packages. Then, before anything actually gets
installed, I get

     "Installation exited abnormally - received signal 9"

at which point I'm invited to reboot my computer now (which doesn't
help).

The first time through I tried to put everything in a ~1Gb root
partition, the second time I tried 500 Mb root and 500 Mb /usr.  That
wasn't the problem.

Sound familiar to anyone?

thanks,
Patrick
