Hey...Thanks a lot...That at least got the install running....
But, after the disk partitioning, when it attempts to locate installable
packages, it just errors out with the following:
"Warning: Nothing found while parsing
/tmp/test-perl-install/var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.cdrom1.cz2 at pkgs.pm line 434"
And then it dumps you back to the disk partitioning. The file does exist
and is about 3.6 MB. There's also a symbolic link to this file in the /tmp
dir.
If you attempt to continue, you are then prompted to choose either Misc.
packages or individually select packages or both. If you attempt to
continue beyond that, you just get the error
"Warning: Illegal division by zero at install_steps_gtk.pm line 303"
After that you can't do anything except CTRL+C to kill the script.
Anything else you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

yeah, we are ;p

Error scenario: g_auto_install segmentation faults
When: While running g_auto_install.
Why: The ld-linux dynamic loader changed in 7.1.
Solution: Copy this g_auto_install to /tmp, then mount the installation
CD-ROM to /mnt/cdrom and run ../perl /tmp/g_auto_install in the
directory
/mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install. This will allow you to
properly generate the auto_inst.cfg.pl file for automatic installation.
Please note that the g_auto_install program is more for power users and
many
people will not have to worry about applying this patch to their own
system.
