That would take a little bit of stress off the disks since it doesn't have to |
| 11 |
compile a kernel, but I'm still going to blame your hardware. The installer |
| 12 |
doesn't do anything that would make your filesystems suddenly turn read-only. |

Also, random failures (not reproducible) are almost always hardware related. |

I've done probably 80+ installs with various versions of the installer using the |
| 16 |
same LiveCD on a few different boxes, and I have never had the problems you are |
| 17 |
describing. |
