ramfree17 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 with the two failed installations, I mentioned here that if Mdv doesn't behave properly on the third try then I am putting it in the last place for laptop reentry. Fortunately the third time is a charm and I have a 2008.1 installation with working wifi! :) Good things come to those who are too stubborn to quit. ciao!

adamw Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Great, glad it worked (in the end) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 me too. my laptop mdv installation was getting old so either this one work or i go ask ianw for distro ho-ing tips. :) and before i forget, the upgrade/reinstall option does not work if the target partition contains the same release. i was getting a perl-like error that has the word uniq in the end. sorry i was already cozy enough pulling my remaining hair while in the bed that i wasn't able to get a pen and paper to write it down. i just restarted the installation and wiped the partitions clean. ciao!
