I was wondering if anyone has run any into problems installing via FTP. I
am using a Linksys Combo card (ec2t I think). I'm working with an
unparitioned HD and ran fdisk mbr on the drive prior to installation. When
I boot of the pcmcia.img image disk for Mandrake 7.1 pcmcia services start
and I can connect to an ftp mirror to start the installation. The second
stage is dowloaded but when it tries to continue with the install I get
these errors....
---------------Snip--------------------------
cardmgr[17]: + Can't open /var/run/pcmcia-scheme: No such file or directory

(if /dev/ is left out of the device name, a temporary node will
be created)

After this it sends system kills and unmounts:
/proc
/tmp/stage2
you may safely reboot your system

in another tty I see
* calling mount (/tmp/ram3, /tmp/stage2, ext2, -1058209792, (nil))
* removing device file /tmp/ram3
* method selection completed
* writing network information to /tmp/ifcfg-eth0
* state saved to /tmp
* symlink /tmp/stage2 Failed
* second stage install
and from here it hangs.....
If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate some help =) I
tried about 15 times to no avail.
I get a connection with no problem I just can't complete the install. I
used the pcmcia.img from the /current/ directory (not sure if this matters)
Thanks!!
