I just attempted to install Mandrake Linux 7.0 on my PC via an install
floppy disk. The computer booted up, found the SCSI controller card, found
the SCSI CD drive (I believe) and started the graphical installer. I went
through every step without a problem (I've installed MkLinux before on a
PowerMac and it worked fine the first time) until it started looking for
packages. It took the computer a long time to look for packages (the CD
LED wasn't on the whole time, but it blinked a couple of time towards the
end) and the it came with the following error message: can't open dir
/tmp/rhimage/Mandrake/RPMS : no such file or directory
And then some following error messages. Eventually I can only choose
installing the "Misc." package.
Any idea what is wrong?
System: P III @ 600 MHz
128 MB Memory
NCR 53C810 PCI SCSI Card
NEC (something) CD drive
Maxtor 15 GB IDE HD (Linux Boot Partition not beyond the 1024th
cylinder)
Thanks
