Subject: Installing pre-R5
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 1998 11:47:32 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <36764C54.D14B5FC2@alien.bt.co.uk> (raw)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Pre-R5 will not install, at least not on my 7600. Here are my
observations;
* You need to use a recent (ie >2.1.130) kernel with BootX to let the
keyboard work properly.
* The NFS install hangs after you give it the NFS server details. I
get a flashing white cursor on a black line at the bottom of the
screen. Unfortunately, my keyboard is without F-keys, so I can't get a
shell up to see what is going on here.
* The FTP install gets a little further. After reading the
supplimentary disk, it complains about some errors in base/comps
(packages not found). I continue regardless, selecting ``Install
Everything'', but it barfs reading the first rpm.
I take it only a local install works? I can't easily try this.
Cheers,
/.J
