[rhn-users] Re: failed installs

["Jefferson Smith" <imajeffs hotmail com>]

I think I had trouble with RH9 because I installed with ext3 on my
home-constructed system. I see some docs that say if it has trouble
(like freezing), you should try installing with ext2 partitions. I have
also thought maybe my drives were overheating, so keep it cool while
doing this intensive stuff like installing.

After normal bootup, you can update partitions to ext3 with included
tools.
