Ok, I've just about decided to upgrade my Compaq Pisario 1500 laptop to Linux. It's an ideal candidate for this. P4 2. 4, 512MB, 30GB HD, 15Lcd. Deserves better than XP. I booted it on the Mepis live CD to check hardware compatibility and most everything works.

When adding apps in RH9 ,each time a disk was requested add apps gave the message error loading package and exited. This was no real problem for me but may be for someone. My solution was to simply leave the selected disk in the drive and restart Add Apps.

Loader problem
kosonenv
I updated Red Hat 9. 0 to Fedora Core 1 and select the choice to update from LILO to GRUB. Unfortunately I forgot that RH 9 booted from floppy and files in FC boot don't fit into a floppy. Now in the boot machine seems to want to use LILO, because first in black screen comes only text LI and then it hangs.

Having serious RPM problems with Fedora.
Dapper Dan
All of a sudden RPM is not working correctly. This of course, is also causing big problems with apt-get and yum. Neither will work correctly since both are RPM based. This problem never occured in Red Hat 8 or 9.

I've done the 9. 2 install several times now with the same result: when searching for available packages, the install never stopped to show me the choices of packages. I was never prompted to insert CD2.
