Re: RedHat 7.1 + Ximian problems?

["Daniel Hauck" <xdesign hotmail com>]

What I see:

I run the installer and the Window titled "Ximian Installer" appears.
I click next and I have two options: Network site install or Local Media.
I make my selection, click next and I see four options for Installation
Type.
These four options are as follows:
*    Install only the essentual components
*    Install only productivity applications
*    Normal installation
*    Install everything

I am talking about the Ximian installer, not the RedHat installer.  I always
install using custom workstation when installing RedHat because I like to
control my partitioning.  But my problem is with Ximian *on* RedHat 7.1, not
with RedHat 7.1.
