Hey Mateusz,
I usually start my clean install from the all_cd.iso with FDNPKG install
kernel, but since you announced the update to FDNPKG, I tried to install
FDNPKG first. After loading the db to temp it begins the install but then
produces several (-15) errors in the DOC, NLS and BIN directory ending with
a zero byte .EXE for FDNPKG and FDNINST. When I install from the all_cd, I
first have to modify the boot.img file to install ahci.sys for my SATA
drive, so it is necessary for me (and others I would presume) for any
update to the A: part of the all_cd.iso to have updated files. That is what
was messing me up. The fdnpkg.cfg file was updated, but it appears (and I
will have to double-check my assumption) that the FDNPKG.EXE file is not
updated. This seems to create the crc errors. I have used this SATA driver
on another computer (on older all_cd.iso downloads) and it always performed
flawlessly.
But one other thing I shoud report is that I tried an experimantal
extraction with PKUNZIP version 2.50 and it reported CRC errors in the few
random packages I tried to extract. I have not yet tried this after
creating the on-disk repo.
I am now iin the midst of Thanksgiving prep, so I will try another clean
install over the weekend.
