First, to explain the subject, the NFS install which works now (yay!) says 9.0 beta1. The network boot image and HTTP install still say 8.2
When both NFS and HTTP start second stage install they say VERSION file missing, even though mdkinst/usr/share/VERSION is in place. The NFS installation can not install contrib packages, like the HTTP used to do. HTTP has improved a bit, it's now hit and miss on contrib packages. The 16 misses I had came from the libapr0 and apache2 SRPMS. When these fail, virtual console 3 says "refusing medium 2." The first few stages of the installation seem faster in the HTTP than NFS. If you click no on a failed package and go back to selection (or go back to it later any way for that matter) it doesn't quite remember your package selection right. It can forget some things you had selected, and select things you didn't have selected (examples: bc, grub, sudo). Using network boot image, when you get to configure networking it says it can keep what you've already configured. If you don't click yes or no, but click an earlier installation stage instead, when you get to network config again, it will have forgotten that. The choose packages step freezes the installation if it finds no packages to install (say everything you had selected is installed and there aren't newer versions available). On the busybox command line, rpm doesn't recognize the --provides or --requires options (but does recognize --whatrequires and --whatprovides). Also, neither reboot or shutdown work. I was wondering why when you get to the package selection step does it rebuild your rpm database (in upgrade). It takes a long time. This upgrade enabled services I had disabled (I was of course able to fix that in the services step). Yesterday's didn't do this. In upgrading, it forgets your bootloader options (CLEAN_TMP, lba). In trying to test the X this time around, the error message I got looked like xfs wasn't working. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
