'bout damned time both linux & sun changed their partition codes, but
recognised the old one....

1. Problems with RedHat 6.1 update installer

Hello,

Has anyone tried the updated installer disks for RedHat 6.1? I am still
having the same problem I had with the previous installer disks, namely
the update 'bombs' when it tries to mount an ext2 file system on my HPFS
partition. I saw many posts about this bug  when using the original boot
disk. Does anyone have this problem with the updated boot disks?
