[Herefordshire] VectorLinux Finally installed !!

[Julian Robbins]

Hi

Good meeting again, nice to see so many there on such a horrible night.

Just to let any know - we managed to finally get the Vector Linux 
install completed at precisely 9.30pm !!

What rather confused us was the fact that we had one problematic cdrom 
drive and both had problems with using DMA  on the CDrom. Thsi gave soem 
rather cryptic error messages regarding getting the installable files 
off the cdrom drive. All we had to do to get it working was to add a 
ide=nodma at the boot prompt!

Mind you, it take us about 1.5 hours to figure that out ;-)

Thanks to all for help and advice. Keith Roberts now has one Linux box, 
only another 5 to go !!


Cheers

Julian
