Help,Help, Help,my installation of RedHat7.3 hangs, how to solve it?

Post by Zhou Zha » Sat, 19 Oct 2002 04:27:52



Hi,

I am a newbie on the linux and just start to install the redhat7.3 on
my pC which has 256M memory and 10G hard disk. I am installing the
linux through the ftp site. The installation always hangs when it
reaches to the final step -- installing the packages on my PC. I tried
both the workstation installation and customized installation. They
both don't work. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? It is
very urgent for me b/c my project is due in this weekend.

thanks for any suggestions,

zhou

What is the connection speed for the ftp? There're a lot of packages to
download, and a 28.8K connection will take a day or two. =B^)

Hi,

I don't know how to get the reading of this connection speed. But the
PC I am installing is connected to a LAN with 10MPs.

At first I boot it from the DOS and it could find the disk C. So I
think the hardware is ok.

Then I boot it from the floppy, it always hangs when installing the
packages. But on this morning, it suprisingly progressed from that
point once.

After that installation, I reinstalled the linux with different
configurations based on my project's requirement, it hanged again.

Does any know what the problem is and how to solve it?

thanks a lot for any information,

zhou

I suggest getting the cd's from somewhere...or even download the ISO
images and burn them to cd's.  It's just easier to install, and if you
need to re-install linux, you don't have to re-download the packages.
