i have finally managed to get a copy of the i486 iso that passes the
md5sum, but everytime i try to install it on my 486 i get an error:
install exited abnormally - recieved signal 11...
is 'signal 11' just a kill signal or does it tell me anything about what
might have happened. i have made a cd of the iso and tried to install
that way and also i have set up the cd as an nfs mount and tried that
(thanks to all those who helped me out a while ago with networking
questions!)
doing an altf3 after the install stops shows the last line of that
console as *removing device file /proc
alt f4 gives (6)Adding Swap: 25196k swap space (priority -1)
alt f5 gives Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information:
done
the install fails after choosing the packages and letting the install
get on with formatting etc.
i think i have a hardware prob but i'm not sure where (an install of
win95 went ok!)
there is an outside chance that i did not burn the cd right but i only
say this because depite burning such things for a while i noticed that
unlike the i586 cd (a pressed one) the long filenames on the i486 cd are
only completely displayed on my other mandrake box, in win98 they are
shortened which the i586 names aren't - does this mean a mistake in
burning?
sorry to ramble on a bit but this is frustrating!
any ideas?
bascule
p.s. anyone care to correspond direct who knows about staroffice5.1 and
macros?
