I tryed to install that new 5.1 redhad tonight, but installation stops when selecting partitions, i cant make swap partition, and installation wont continue without any swap. I partitioned second disk in irix, and in boot linux finds it, but both partitions are 'linux native', i cant change them to 'linux swap' becouse fdisk segfaults in installation. Should that fdisk work? Could that segfault be becouse i have two disks, one id=0 and second id=3.
As mentioned in the isntructions, all the partitioning needs to be done from Irix. Yes, we're working on this.
Any way to install it without swap? Or how to force sdb2 to be swap partition?
There's a dialog box that asks you if you want to use swap; just say no. There's swap problems right now.
In that announcment posting there was 'copy all files from...', i just copied "installfs.tgz" and untar it, is all files in that?
Yup. - Alex
