so far, not so good... it still won't install from a firewire DVD-ROM, as documented at http://www.monkeynoodle.org/comp/vx88. I've just finished making my El Torito boot disk, will proceed from there tonight. Is there another way to do this? I've been told that using expert mode will produce a menu of modules one can load, but expert mode dies in the same place as non-expert mode for me (per documentation on the above page).
live_update & livedrake are hopelessly borked (livedrake a little less so): 1) it dies if you don't use /mnt/cdrom for the CD-drive. 2) it tries to run /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install/live_install, which doesn't exist -- should be Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install/live_install2 3) live_install2 won't run because of a Perl libraries issue -- it can't find install2.pm, because that library doesn't exist. There is an install2 and an install2.pm.gz... I tried copying install2 to /usr/lib/perl5/site-lib/install2.pm, but then it failed because it tries to source a bunch of stuff from its working directory. I quit here. I had opened bugs for both of these on cooker after RC1 came out, but because I didn't know I was supposed to lobby for people to vote for my bugs, they've been closed out of bugzilla and are still unresolved. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...
