[thechat] Red Hat keeps locking

[Daniel J. Cody]

Hey Chris -

Ya, try hitting those terms when its running the upgrade.. If it locks 
up before you can do that, change to them before it locks up if you can..

ximian has *known* issues with upgrading from 7.1 to 7.2. if you can't 
find out any other usefull info, boot into your still working 7.1, and 
uninstall all the ximian stuff you put on there to get evolution. once 
thats done, reboot, upgrade to 7.2 and re-install evolution.

this isn't a linux prob BTW, its pure ximian.. :(
