So far: - Downloaded the RH 6.1 iso image from metalab.unc.edu. - Burned and mounted CD - Opened up ftp server to allow anonymous access - Downloaded updated floppy images from redhat that are supposed to fix 6.1 install problems - Created floppies - Boot 486 box with bootnet floppy - 'linux updates expert' at boot prompt everything goes good until the install starts reading the package information from the server, then 'Exception Occurred'. It shows me a bunch of python errors coming from /var/tmp/python-root/usr/lib/python1.5/ftplib.py. The one that looks really interesting to me is at the end: "/var/tmp/python-root/usr/lib/python1.5/ftplib.py", line 201. in getresp IOError: [Errno ftp error] 500 'CWD ': command not understood. So, it seems to me that the install is issuing a CWD command, which isn't supported by the ftp server ( a recent wu-ftpd build). Anyone have any thoughts? TIA, Jim Gallagher PS Why doesn't the server support CWD? I looked at RFC 959, and it said that CWD is change working directory. -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
