I ran into a roadblock installing the downloaded
Red Hat OS onto an Emachines PC Etower 500ix. The entire installation bombs at
the last moment just after completing both disk 1 and disk 2, citing a System
Error 16. I selected the defaults on everything. It is a fatal bomb, and leaves
the machine dead in the water but we created the floppy boot disk and tried
several times. Same results each time--tantalizingly close, but no
cigar.
We are installing as our first test machine, which
I assume is a common strategy prior to migration. We have a solid general
familiarity with Unix, but not Linux specifically.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Eric
