I just wanted to report two errors with the xfs installer:

- text based install dies with a python error in /usr/lib/anaconda/textw/welcome_text.pyc, line 23. This is the dialog where You are hinted at redhat's non-responsibility for this installation. graphical installation works. I am no good at python, so I can't provide a fix here.

- using lilo as the boot manager fails because the labels used by the installer are too long for lilo. The maximum length is 12 characters, IIRC, and the original label is something like
'Linux-XFS-2.4.18-SGI-1.2a1', which is too long.

Other than that, I can report a (so far) successful update from SGI/1.0(based on RedHat 7.1) to SGI/1.2pre3(based on RedHat 8.0).

Regards,
    Harald
