Almost everyone runs into some kind of snag or hangup when attempting
|
|
to install Linux the first time. Most of the time, the problem is caused
|
|
by a simple misunderstanding. Sometimes, however, it can be something
|
|
more serious, such as an oversight by one of the developers, or a bug.
|
|
<P>
|
|
This section will describe some of the
|
|
most common installation problems, and how to solve them. If your installation
|
|
appears to be successful, but you received unexpected error messages
|
|
during the installation, these are described here as well.
