I have a stage1 install in progress in a VMWare 4.5.2 virtual machine. This is only my second stage1 install, so please be gentle with me. :) So far, there have been only two minor snags:
1. I burned the .iso to a CD-RW with K3B, which reproducibly failed to verify the result. I verified the MD5 sum another way, and the CD turned out to be OK. I've filed a bug against K3B. 2. When you first start up "scripts/bootstrap.sh", it complains about the 2005.0 profile and tells you not to use it. Would it be too much to ask if you modified the script so it would exit and allow you to change the symbolic link in "/etc", rather than continuing and giving you the same error? CTL-C isn't always your friend. :) -- [email protected] mailing list
