Machine: Dell Latitude CSx Processor: Intel p3 500MHz Memory: 128MB Root Device: IDE Root Size/partition table: N/A Output of lspci: (lspci not on installer) Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [ ] Config network: [ ] Detect CD: [E] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: It looks like the CD is mounted with no RR extensions or something similar. The problem is that the installer cannot find the Release file. I see in virtual console #4 that grep is looking at /cdrom/dists/stable/Release. But in the shell, if I go to /cdrom/dists and I ls -l, the files "stable" "testing" and "unstable" are not symlinks to sarge, but just empty plain files. Mounting this CD from a working Linux system shows the proper layout, but not on a PC during the install process. -- Jason Smith Open Enterprise Systems Bangkok, Thailand http://www.oes.co.th -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
