Hi,
        I've been talking to Derek Atkins about installing the new
Linux/Athena.  My first problem was that I wanted to install 9.0 with
lilo with lba32 but could not, so lilo install failed.  Then Derek
suggested that I install 9.1 which has grub.  I tried doing this by
substituting as the control file control/control-9.1 but when it went to
install RPMs, it gave error messages about not being able to find
directories (when I installed 9.0 everything worked up until it tried to
install lilo).  Derek then suggested I install from /afs/dev instead of
/afs/athena but the same error messages occurred.  Please let me know if
this is a bug with the installer or my system, and if I can change
anything to get it to work other than changing my partitions around.
Thanks.
