With 9.0 and previous, I extracted the contents of the iso's to one partition and installed from there. I since did a RedHat hd install, and it only wanted to know the location of the iso files. That was very convenient, so on this 9.1 install, I didn't extract the iso contents first. When this install started, it only asked the location and name of one iso. I proceeded anyway, thinking the installer must be smart enough to find the other two co-located iso's when it needed them.
Apparently not. I get about 1/3 through "installing packages", and every subsequent package generates a generic "error installing" message and wants to know if I want to continue anyway. I clicked yes to go on anyway a couple dozen times now and see no improvement. It makes me think this installer to too dumb to use the #2 & #3 iso files to keep on going. Am I wrong? Must I extract all iso contents the old fashioned way in order to get a full install? -- "Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry." Ephesians 4:26 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
