Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Installation Problems
I am trying to install RedHat 7, but I am getting errors. The error I get is something about SecurityPolicy. I searched for this, and I found that it has to do with running X Windows. However, all the information I found has been about already installed Linux X Windows problems. RedHat 7 is not the only distribution that does this, Mandrake 7 did the same thing. I have installed Linux on this computer successfully before, and I haven't changed much (if anything) since then. Any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks.

Need more specific information: does linux install and you can't get to X-windows?
What is the exact error message?
Where does the install quit?
I have not installed Linux yet, so I'm not running X Windows. However, the installation itself is visual (so I assume it's a toned-down version of X Windows). The error message flashes by quickly before the computer restarts, which I also forgot to mention. However, I was able to catch the approximate path, which was the X Windows path (something like /X11/R6../SecurityPolicy). I get this error once I do my partitions (the error occurs in workstation and custom mode). It falls back to console mode where I see the error flash quickly and then the computer reboots. Perhaps one solution would be running it in a text mode installation? If so, which .img file do I use for the boot disk? Thanks for the help.
