Hi After reading about the christmas cooker snapshot and how enthusiastic people were about it, i tried it - to no avail. The second stage would not load into memory. So I mirrored the cooker archive to my harddrive:
rsync -avL --delete ftp.uninett.no::Mandrake-devel/cooker/cooker/ /home/lusr/burn/cooker after booting with the hd.img boot floppy everything runs smoothly - until the packages install. Here I am told about 80 times that a package (obviously a different one each time) could not be installed - 'do you want to proceed anyway?'. The two major groups of packages that will not install are those involving perl and those involving XFree. The first one i'll display as an example: readline <ctrl><alt><F3> displays this message about 5 times for the package,after moving on to the next one: rpmRunTransaction start getFile readline-4.2a-1mdk.i586.rpm: Installation CD rpmRunTransactions done, now trying to close still opened fd getFile XXX: rpm database closed When it gets to the stage of showing which services will be installed, it says that 0 sevices will be installed. Needless to say, the new system will not boot. I have been trying this daily from the 9. to the 15. What i find odd is that everyone else seems to be having no such troubles. What am i doing wrong?
