Hi, I had the same problem. The failed update attemp destroyed my rpm database. every Install attemp faild at a other state. It seems to me like a bug in supermount. Try to switch to a console (alt+F3 I think) and list the content of your cdrom. there are lot of files missing. I solved it by installing a ATAPI CD-ROM drive from my old machine and almost every thing went through (besides a problem I had since mdk7.x with the graphical installation). So supermount was a real Horror. I was so angry about it that I compiled the new kernel without these crap (in my special environment). Martin > -- > Albert E.
