as I get EMC2 not running with 4.38, I tried again to install 4.30, but in graphical mode I get an error at the end of the installation, something with 'bad window'. In text mode key inputs at the end of the installation are written somewhere on the screen..., I think in december somebody described it... But some time ago, I had 4.30 running with graphical mode installation I guess, so there must be a way to install it. Today I made with a win98 bootdisk 'fdisk /mbr', and I guess I had success and removed GRUB. But the following try to install 4.30 caused the 'bad window' error again...
Without a lot more information as to where the install is crashing, the type of hardware, previous checks made, I can only give general answers. It sounds like you may have a bad burn or faulty hardware, so a few questions: Did you check the md5 sum of the downloaded ISO images ? Does the mediacheck boot option on the CD verify the contents OK ? Is the memory in the computer pass the memtest86 tests ? Have you tried another CDROM drive and/or a different media ? If you had a working BDI-4.3 install, why re-install when apt-get would have up/downgraded packages for you ? Regards, Paul.
