Nice hearing that there are users of ALT Linux around the world. I use
it since 2004-2005 as a main distro for desktops and some servers.<br>
I also use CentOS, Slackware/Slax and SuSE/NLD/OpenSuSE. I manage some
Debians too, but I prefer ALT Linux.<br>
Now I've got for desktops a mix-up of packages from 4.1.1 and sisyphus
too, that works like a charm, some servers with 4.0 at my clients
(without virtualization), 1 virtual server (Sisyphus) that also works
like a charm (runnin' 2.6.26 built by Lakostis)<br>
<br>
Regarding your error, I never got that, even on new systems. Maybe it
does not see the drives or does not access them correctly (too new
board?).<br>

I first installed ALT in VirtualBox, and I just liked the little
details. A no-bullshit KDE 3.5.x desktop, with just the right
adjustments. (For example, replace KMail by Thunderbird, which is a
good idea, since KMail's IMAP support is buggy). And I like the sober
appearance, like SUSE, but less glossy. Clean and understated.

More or less; over the years it was somewhere near this level of

activity, or below it, so I'd say now it's rather "more".

The speed of your response is already part of the answer.

Ah yes, one first spoiler. I just made some space on a "real" (e. g.
non-virtual) PC, and first failure: when I choose "Destroy all
partitions, then autopartitions", packages are all "installed", but
then the installer exits with a general failure for all the packages.
Looks like it forgot to format. Now I'm currently running it again,
this time with "Custom install".

Cheers,
