- After waiting many many weeks for the October drop of NT I installed it
- almost immediately.
-
- The start of the install occured from a cd mounted in a novell server.
-
- The installation was express, the only anomalie being a couple of tries
- at getting the domain info correct for lan manager.
-
- I was very impressed at the quality of the install process up untill it
- indicated that it was deleting some interim files, I presume near the end.
-
- At this point the box hung, a cold boot being required to bring it back to
- life, no further messages and only a small flurry of disk activity later.
-
- I intend to reinstall again when I have a moment. Does anyone have experience
- of this sort of problem? Was the installation nearly complete? (Everything
- that I have tried seems to work ok.) All clues as to the cause would be
- appreciated.
