Ok this fixed the problem that installing from a virtual optical drive failed during the package-installation. A new problem, though, is that when choosing the 'minimal initrd image', the system comes up and boots up to the point where it says 'Begin: Waiting for root file system ... '. At that point it keeps waiting forever. Folkert van Heusden -- MultiTail ist eine flexible Applikation um Logfiles und Kommando Eingaben zu überprüfen. Inkl.
