dcook32p Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I'm using a Gateway Solo 5300 notebook PC configured as follows: 600 MHz Intel Pentium III 128 MB SDRAM Intel 440BX chipset S3 Savage3 graphics Intel EtherExpress PRO 100 integrated ethernet The system does not have a CD-ROM drive, so I am using the floppy/net install. I boot from the first floppy, and everything loads fine. It prompts me for the netdriver floppy to install the etherexpress driver. That works fine. I load the installer from secsup.org using FTP. That works fine. Everything works great up until when I reach the summary page. I see the "not configured" by the graphic display options, and I configure my S3. It tests okay. I also change my time zone to be correct (America_Chicago, use GMT, use NTP). I click "Next", and it prompts me to install updates. Strange that I've never had this work on CD installs - just this once on a net install. I've tried it both ways, too - installing updates and not installing updates. That's when the system freezes up (after downloading the updates if I choose to do so). I can't change consoles. I can't move the mouse. Any ideas?

dcook32p Posted August 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Any ideas? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm still experiencing this issue. Does anyone have some suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 (edited) yes. Don't worry about it. Three versions of mandrake has froze on me at the summary sceren. The first thing I do is configure the bootloader or anything critical to my setup to enable me to have a working box after reboot. Then I continue on to lesser things. If it freezes...everything else can be configured later. Edited August 31, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 I concur, and do your updates after rebooting. You can wait a little, can't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcook32p Posted September 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 I concur, and do your updates after rebooting. You can wait a little, can't you? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As far as updating is concerned, this issue occurs even if I don't install the updates. I'm trying to install SuSE 9.1 Personal Edition on here now - so far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
