touch /base/hdlist2.cz enables the install to proceed, but all the
missing RPMs in 9.0rc3 are still missing in 9.0.
What's worse X will now not come up in either of the two machines here.
It did on one of them (TNT2 32MB), not the other (Voodoo 3), for 9.0rc3.
This is a real disaster - stay away from 9.0. As it stands it is a
waste of everyone's time. This is a pity, since there is no fallback
to rc3 or 8.2 because they are no lomger on the mirrors, and for those
who need iDE2 and IDE3 for ATA 100+, the 8.2 kernel does not support them.
