follow-up on this... I ran a sniffer on the LAN and re-attempted to run
up2date on the PC I tried to install RH9 on. It failed as usual, but when
I was looking through the TCP capture file I found the following string repeated
several times at the end of a line "<FONT
color=#800000>1!0^_^F^I*†H†÷^M^A^I^A^V^Rrhn-noc@redhat.co]</FONT>". Notice
the apparently missing "<FONT color=#800000>m</FONT>" to the left of the right
bracket. I wonder if that is, or is a contributor to the problem?
Ideas?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Verdana><FONT size=2>RH9 Up2date failure<SPAN
class=680455920-17042004>, when this occurs is there an error log written, and
where? Since it fails at 20% (after building an update list)
connectivity isn't the issue, what are other high probability failure
causes? Since RedHat recognizes the user id, pw and email address, I
think it may be registered, but since I have made several attempts
to use up2date and ALL have failed at 20%, I'm not
certain.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>

case it is relative, X won't start and xfree86 is unable to successfully
configure the adapter or monitor. The monitor is listed in xfree86, but
is not recognized. The adapter "SiS 650/740" is not listed in xfree86
even though it is favorably mentioned in the xfree86 log file. On
exiting xfree86 it, always reports ALL monitor and adapter info. as "bogus"
from probing. </SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>
