I tried to update my system from 2.1.7 to 2.2.1 with the CD. The normal process went ok, but when I tried a postinstalling of the packages sysinstall hangs itself after a few minutes. I got this at work with a Toshiba ATAPI CDROM and at home with a Pioneer SCSI CDROM. Bye, Udo -- Udo Wolter, email: uwp@cs.tu-berlin.de !!!
