Another nice try - and interesting information for those that use ext2/3 My problem is trying to get the already installed machine (using PCMCIA.IMG to install from a local FTP source) - to recognise the FTP source machine after the initial install and use rpmdrake.
The segfault happened because the addmedia was wrong from the install, when I did a urpmi.removemedia and removed the two ftp sources - rpmdrake didn't segfault anymore. But now I have problems adding the FTP source back to rpmdrake so i can install more packages. As I previously complained, the add new media interface to rpmdrake is not very intuitive and when the FTP source is wrongly entered or an error occurs you are dumped back to the "edit sources" dialog - which means everything has to be retyped again for the next attempt. This is not fun.
