The message reads, from a Mandrake installation, ....There was an error installing packages XXX. Do you wish to continue. This goes through every package I selected.
File partitions. I used fdisk to partition and then put Reseirfs on them. Then I let Mandrake do the partitioning automatically. The result was the same. > > "xxx program had problems do you want to continue" is not an example. It > is a paraphrase, and rather an uninformative one. Does the message really > say nothing more informative than "had problems"? Does it really call each > a "program", not a "package"? I doubt it ...
