I've seen that "Optimizing disk ('null')" message at times on my system--my guess was that the Installer application was trying to optimize the disk image. Did you run the installer from the disk image? If so, try copying the contents of the disk image over to a normal folder on your system and see if that works--nobody's reported a similar error on the Fink lists that I've seen.

Hi,
I just installed Panther on a spare 20GB disk to see if I could get everything working -- erased the drive and installed the 10.3 OS (but not yet the 10.3.2 update). I have an 'officially unsupported' amount of memory on my G3 Lombard PowerBook (512MB) which I had to drop to 256MB to get Panther to install. Put the memory back in and its recognized. Could this configuration now be causing problems for a fresh fink install, too?


Downloaded the fink-0.6.2-Installer, ran it, and when it got to that Optimizing Disk part in the installer script, it said something like "Optimizing disk ('null')..." to which I said, hmm, that doesnt sound right.
Shortly after that the computer crashed with the install hanging and the screen s-l-o-w-l-y fading to white. Had to force reboot. Tried again with the same result.


Anyone else had this happen? I didnt see any tips on this in the FAQ...

Thanks,
--Michael
