    Linux installed on 4th try

    Hello friends,
    I installed linux first and it worked completely and then crashed while doing the post install configuration. Gave a debug message and I saved it to floppy but apparently the save didn't happen. Then I tried to install it again and this time if failed while on find-util-(some verion) the find and xargs files. ONce again in the next installation it failed at the same place. 4th time I installed in text mode and it worked. However after starting it crashed when I ran a command in a terminal. Please tell me what would be the possible causes of these errors. Do I have to set the harddisk type to 'LBA' or something for the installation to work. icon_frown.gif Can someone please tell me which log files should I check to find out what is happening. Or is there some way to debug to understand what is happening.

    What distribution did you install? Perhaps someone that has experience with it can help you.

    I installed Redhat 8.0 and after that it crashed. So I gave up and installed 7.3 and now its working fine. Thanks
