Hi, As previously reported, yesterday's upgrade to the latest packages killed X on this TiBook, so I performed a clean installation today to see if it would result in a better outcome (nope). But I noticed something strange. The first two clean installations didn't complete because the last 50 or so packages wouldn't install, the message was "There was an error installating packages blah, blah, blah." The root partition (which is 3.4GB) was freshly formatted during the installer, but when I ran 'df' on console two it said /mnt was 99% full. I had selected all the 'Workstation' groups, all the 'Graphical desktop' groups, plus 'Documentation.'
The third time, I chose all the same package groups except for 'Other graphical desktops.' The installation then completed without any problem and only 50% of the root partition was used. Is the installer not accurately reading the correct size of the partitions? BTW- Stew, since X works fine during the installer, is there anyway I can have a functional desktop after the install? Or should I just wait until it gets fixed in Cooker? Thanks. Bye, Phil Lavigna
