I have been trying to install Linux-Mandrake 8.0 on a second computer at home
for some time now. It's a P-166 64MB RAM with an old SB CDROM that can't
read burned CDs. So...
1. Copied local mirror of 8.0 (from which I successfully installed to my main
machine) to a FAT32 partition on the 2nd box, using Samba, and attempted
install from hd.img floppy.
Result...
"Died at /usr/bin/perl-install/install_steps_gtk.pm line 430.
...propagated."
OKing this dialog sent me back to disks selection and OKing that gives error
"no hdlists found"
2. Attempted install from network.img floppy using NFS /pub export.
Result...
Console 1: error in exec of stage 2 :-(
FATAL ERROR IN STAGE1: Permission denied
I can't recover from this.
You may reboot your system.
Console 3: found the Linux-Mandrake Installation, good news!
Stage 1: disconnecting life support systems.
/var/log/user.log on first machine reports:
Jun 19 22:27:17 penguin rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from
192.168.74.9:610 for /pub (/pub)
I can't find anything in /var/log on the first machine referring to
"Permission denied", so it looks as if this is happening at the client end.
I really don't know what to try next and would be greatful for any
suggestions.
Regards,
Peter
