I've been
installing LM8, and the installation confirms as successful (I
have to use text install). But on boot the system fails due to a series of "Permission Denieds" after etc/rc.sysinit. I've tried reinstalling a number of times but get the same result. The last time I noticed that the installation appears to falter at about 87-90% of the packages with what appears momentarily to be some kind of Perl error, ejects the installation CD and then continues as if nothing has happened subsequently confirming successful install. I don't think the installation has succeeded and wondered if anyone had any ideas as to what the mysterious error may be or how to work round it? I don't think it's the CDs. They're Cheapbytes CDs. Also, I took the opportunity to use them to install on a computer with a different configuration and it installed ok. The ok install used the Mandrake graphical installer, ejected the CD (at the same place as the problem occurred in the text install) and prompted for the second CD. The text installer did not prompt for anything it just carried on into post install stuff. Suppose it could be that the text installer is corrupted or perhaps buggy? Anyone else had a problem with the text installer? Thanks, Richard |
