I attended Bob Browns's excellent lessons on how to behave (what TO do
as well as what NOT to do) last night.  Fortunately, Bruce had an
extra copy of the RH7 disks (#1,#2, and documentation) so I brought them
home and just tried to update my RH 6.2 to 7.0.  For some strange reason,
it failed.  It went through the beginning of the update process fine, then
said that it was checking for existing RedHat installations.  After a
while it came back with the  the error message:

"One or more of your filesystems  for your Linux system was not unmounted
cleanly.   Please boot your Linux installation, let the filesystems be
checked, and shut down cleanly to upgrade.",    followed by JUST an OK
with no options for continuing.  I had properly unmounted before but I did
so again with the same result.   THen I tried using a drivers.img disk
and got the same result, cleanly shutting down each time.  

What is up?   One possibility is that I have only 32M of RAM.  I have a
dual OS system, with W95 on my original harddrive and LINUX on the larger
drive.  That arrangement has never been a problem in past installations.

HELP!
