huh.. I decided it was time to re-partition my disks in order to get ready for 4.0.1 and leave some room for the possibility to install some other distros in parallel.. I always used burned ISOs for 4.0 installations but now, since I have bought the full boxset, I tried with the official CDs but they just wont work. It mount loop0 /mnt/source/YellowDog/something.img fd is 16 then umount it right after and complain there is no CD in the drive. No FTP/HTTP/CDROM install possible. NFS is out-of-sight. I've hit this dialog a few times with the ISOs but a simple hit on the 'OK' button usually make it goes. The 'real' CDs never worked... even after 50+ 'OK' hit.
Im both crying and laughing. I recall YD3 is used to be rock solid and speedy, you know.. In the install i am currently on, YDL3, well.. thats SAD to say but its NOT what its used to be. Its all crap for my eyes. I fear to print my real thoughts in here but I have regrets about how I've spend my money... There is a trick. There must be one. Out of nothing, yum say 'Not using FTP or HTTP for servers - aborting. The localhost name vanished and substituted for something real weird like 12J1F2512G45FH4JG5FJ4H5F1 (keyboard vomit) What shall I be thinking of this? Something is different every time I re-install. I missed YD3 speed but as it is right now, on a bare Personal Desktop install...haaaaa..a full fledge YD4 look like a speed demon. Its never been that weird. There is no focus. No consistency. Its in a loop, a subtle prison. How is that so? Why do I have such thoughts?!? What about something that actually work, CONSISTANTLY? ..because 'its free'?!? Then, thats sick. How is that possible unless someone make this happen? What do f**k am I doing here anyway?!? _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
