Folks,

I am trying to upgrade my 5.1 system to 5.2.  I have tried three times.
Each
time I get part way into the install (installing packages, first time
libtermcap,
second time bash) then I get red writing with:  Install exited
abnormally --
received signal 11.  Sending termination signals, etc.  There was no
diagnostic
info on the multiscreens and once the install crashed, I could not do
anything
except reboot.

I can still reboot into 5.1 (so all is not lost), but does anyone have
any ideas?

Machine:  Dell WS 400
  Dual PII/300 128M
   2940 UW
   SCSI CD-ROM

Partition 1:  100 MB /root, 13M free
                2:  1GB /usr, 100 MB free
                3:  1GB /home, 800 MB free

Software, RH 5.1 with all updates (as of last month).  Some other
packages (like a home-built Apache).  This was upgraded from a
5.0 system (virgin install of 5.0).

I may just do a complete fresh install....

Thanks,
