Trouble installing OEL 6.1 | Please help

868227Jun 11 2011 — edited Jun 16 2011
Hi,

I downloaded the boldOEL 6.1 DVD ISO*bold* and booted with it for installation on my home desktop PC. I chose boot from DVD option and I inserted the newly created OEL 6.1 DVD. Following were the problems I encountered with it:

1) With the GUI installation screens, my mouse stopped working. Basically the cursor just stopped working & I had to rely on keyboard shortcuts to click on the button. I use Microsoft Mouse with USB connectivity.

2) To overcome the above problem, I rebooted the PC and landed at the "boot>" prompt. Here I typed bold"linux text"*bold* to choose text based installation. All was well, till it reached the Disk management options (Forgot the name of the option). Here since I had an existing linux, I chose to create partition from the existing linux partition option. Boom! I got a screen full of errors quoting some line numbers related to Python. Anaconda crashed on my face!

I am hopelessly stuck as I can't proceed forward. Please help!

Thanks & Regards,
Prash
