Use the option --upgradeany when you boot from the install cd

IE... linux --upgradeany

omit the --, and you're right. (-:

boot: linux upgradeany

Thanks - actually, linux --upgradeany worked for me cheers Mike

installer options by default do not have the -- portion. Therefore the correct boot line is, as Rex already pointed out, 'linux upgradeany'

The reason why it worked for you, is that this specific test is done by looking for the 'upgradeany' string on the command line, anywhere, in any format. Here is the actual sniplet of code where this eval is done

" if ((cmdline.find("upgradeany") != -1) "

hence, you lucked out.
