Hi, SL users - I have constructed an SL6 installer USB disk and it works
but after asking all the questions, right before starting to install packages,
it stops and requests that there be an active network connection. The
installation
does not seem to proceed until the machine acquires an internet connection.
Why is this?
How did you make the USB image?
I am making an SL6 installer for use on machines located where internet
access is physically impossible, so is there a solution or workaround?
There is a solution to this but I need to know the answer to the above
question.
P.S. Let's have a flame war. Why is there no instructions for making USB
installer disks? Why is SL distributed as DVD images when none of my computers
have no DVD drives? I guess I should be glad that it is not distributed
on punch cards or paper tape.
Yep , it is good that it is not available on paper tape nor cassette
tape.
We are working on providing a "usb image" similar to what was available on
SL 5.
