Sony Vaio VX88, currently running MDK 9.0 with 2.4.20-2mdk kernel for ACPI support.
combo CDRW/DVD drive is at /mnt/disk. as root, cd /mnt/disk & ./live_update produces: gmessage Mandrake Linux live upgrade Unable to find Mandrake Linux Installation Cd-Rom in the first drive. Abort The script looks like it would work if I moved my mount point to /mnt/cdrom, but since this device isn't a cdrom and there was clearly an effort to support other options via distrib=`pwd`, I think I should report the problem. Reboot with CD in of course fails because the installer can't mount the firewire CDRW/DVD. Kernel messages show that it recognizes okay and tries to do the right thing, but doesn't have an sbp2 module to install. This is fixable via burning a new El Torito disk with the network.img as documented here (http://www.monkeynoodle.org/comp/vaio), but I really don't feel like dealing right now. Okay, so I symlinked /mnt/disk to /mnt/cdrom and ran live_update again, still no soap. So I manually cd Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install/ ./live_install2 (not live_install as the live_update script says). and the result is: [root@chupacabra perl-install]# ./live_install2 Can't remove /mnt/disk/Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install/../../../usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc: Read-only file system, skipping file.
