Welcome back...;o)
This is my fstab on laptop :
----------------------------------------------
/dev/hdb6 / ext2 noatime 1 1
/dev/hdb1 /boot ext2 noatime 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0
/mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 0
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0
/dev/hdb10 /mnt/hd ext2 noatime 1 2
/dev/hdb7 /mnt/hdb7 ext2 noatime 1 2
/dev/hdb9 /mnt/hdb9 ext2 noatime 1 2
/dev/hda5 /mnt/ntfsa5 ntfs exec,dev,suid,ro 0 0
/dev/hda7 /mnt/ntfsa7 ntfs exec,dev,suid,ro 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat user,exec,umask=0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb5 swap_upgrade swap defaults 0 0
----------------------------------------------
Mirror partition used for expert upgrade development with hd.img is
/dev/hdb10 (/Mandrake-devel/cooker)
If I don't remove :
/dev/hdb10 /mnt/hd ext2 noatime 1 2
from current fstab, installer can't find hdlist, it seems because it mount
/mnt/hd before read hdlist and than /dev/hdb10 is not usable for installer
that read hdlist from (if I remember correctly)
/tmp/mnt/Mandrake/base/hdlist...
I'not sure of used installer path, but I'm sure that not removing that line,
hdlist is not found, tried many times (because I forgot removing line...;o)
Four or five hd.img ago there weren't this problem.
Also there weren't problem of ide freeze in selecting individual packages
when appair dialog :
"The following packages are going to be installed/removed...." indipendently
which package is.... as I wrote....
