Attempted cooker installation with DrakX V1.541 on an unbranded laptop
(it's an experimental machine that I have on loan).

Installation via NFS.  PCMCIA NIC detection, DHCP, stage 2 load etc. is
all fine.  Immediately after GTK portion starts, I get:

GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to: No such user 0.
Gdk-ERROR **: BadAccess
  serial 120 error_code 10 request_code 143 minor_code 1
Gdk-ERROR **: BadShmSeg
  serial 121 error_code 155 request_code 143 minor_code 5
install exited abnormally :-(
sending termination signals...done
etc., etc., etc.

Interestingly, a quick glance at console F3 shows

* warning: rm of /usr/share/locale_special/af/LC_MESSAGES/libDrakX.mo failed: 
Read-only file system
* warning: mkdir: error creating directory /usr/share/locale_special/en/LC_MESSAGES: 
Read-only file system

Why is DrakX attempting to write to the NFS-mounted /usr?

The file (../af/...) exists and is the first file under the
/locale_special tree

The directory (.../en/...) does not exist under /locale_special/, it
exists under /locate/.

Cannot send a full bug report as shell on console F2 is killed when the
install exits abnormally (which happens as soon as the error occurs).
