I tried RH 8.0 on a laptop, a 750 MHz Dell C600 w/ 128 MB Ram and 6 GB drive.
I tried to install it over RH 7.2 which has been very stable. The installer hanged all over the place! Finally frustrated with hunting down and ommitting the hanging packages, I tried a minimal install without anything selected. More errors. X wouldn't start. After a full weekend (including an all nighter) of trying to get 8.0 to work, including several repartitions, I had to give up and reload 7.2 only. No problems. I look forward when RH 8 can be loaded onto my laptop. Has anyone else had luck installing 8.0 on a laptop? I got the ~$40 upgrade red box (although it doesn't TELL you it's an upgrade, from what I could see) !
