Subject: R5 Install (Mostly) Successful on PBG3
Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 12:39:07 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <36C33FEB.FDB02302@babcockbrown.com> (raw)
I am able to install pre-R5 on my G3 Series laptop again, using the
latest RPMS from mirror. I used Martin Costabel's "big" ramdisk image
and a 2.1.125 kernel.
There were a few failures during intstall. The main problem I have is
that RPM doesn't work; any attempt to use it returns an error
"//var/lib/rpm/nameindex.rpm: Invalid argument"
Is it the double slash at the beginning of that line? Where is it
getting that path? Using --dbpath doesn't seem to help...
