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). Michael
