is it all a ruse? can rh9 not be installed from anything other than cd? hey, i've got adsl now. so why not download the iso's, right? it gets exactly as far as 102400000 bytes, then craps out, that's why. no matter if i use rsync or gFTP (from an up2date'd rh7.3 box). i tried redhat and two different mirrors. does anybody actually download iso's? what's different about me?
i tried downloading and making the latest version of rsync (2.5.6). same thing. so i rsync'd the whole tree instead of the iso's. anaconda-9.0-4 seems to have an "oldhd" install method for this. but it dumps a stack trace trying to set protection on a partition? i tried anaconda --debug, and i can s(tep) and n(ext), but i can't c(ontinue)? what am i missing here? i also tried method=ftp://. hey, this one actually got about half way through! but i must have suffered a network hiccup or something. some generic error message about a package that couln't be unpackaged, and anaconda barfed it instead of retrying it. so i restarted it as an upgrade. this actually finished! and it runs.. sort of. lots of things work fine. except X. anaconda must do some mysterious magic setup step for X that i didn't get. init complains it is respawning too fast and disables it. the XFree86 log is apparently configured to /dev/null, so i can't see what's going on. so what would _you_ do next? just get the cds, right? but hey, i've put this much effort into it.. come on, what would you try next? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
