Ne'er mind. I figured out my problem. I was installing to the wrong
"DEST". ~sheepish grin~
There is one "annoyance" with diskdrake however. You cannot enter
partition sizes manually -- you can only use the slider. For largish
disks (18G) the smallest increment on the slider is still too large.
Maybe the slider should be exponential, or give back the input box
that used to be there.
There is still a problem with hd install though. It would seem that
hdimage is unmounted before getting the hdlist from
"Mandrake/base/hdlists" in pkgs.pm line 374:
sub psUsingHdlists {
my ($prefix, $method) = @_;
my $listf = install_any::getFile('Mandrake/base/hdlists') or die "no hdlists
found";
my %packages = ( names => {}, count => 0, depslist => [], mediums => {});
...
Of course, install_any::getFile() barfs with an
errorOpeningFile Mandrake/base/hdlists
The good news is that I am able to create an LVM root filesystem now
though. :-) I just need to get an install to complete so I can
modify drakx to build the necessary initrd to boot it.
