I didn't get exactly what failed. Wasn't the behavior of falling back to the USB flash in the absence of squashfs images in the CD expected? > Also, Installer isn't asking about my netconfig?? Try to run StartTask Network after boot. May be a delay issue, in which the bootscripts tried to bring the net up before eth/udev/etc. was ready for it. > Also, I get an error, "ln: creating symbolic link > '/Mount/GoboLinux/srv' -> '': No such file or directory" Is this during the CD boot?

Change in net behavior tends to confirm it's a delay issue. We may need to add a loop there to wait until it's ready (which would slow down boot up to a timeout in non-networked systems... other ideas welcome). -- Hisham _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
