[Cooker] install fix-kinda

2000-01-08 Thread Nathan Wykes

Ok,

It looks like the hdlist and depslist files have been placed on the ftp
site.  However I'm still having the 2nd stage problem.  It looks as
though the mdkinst_stage2.gz file might be bad also.

hmm,

I use wget from rpmfind.net.  hdlist is 4535k depslist is 68k.  I looked on the
primary mirrors and they have the same filesize.  Is it possible you got them
before they got trashed?  What is the size of your mdkinst_stage2.gz?

 hd.img works fine (well, approximately fine) here.My usual mirror
 (rpmfind.net) delivers a /base/hdlist file 11,768,596 bytes in size, depslist
 is 96,920 in size, so you probably have an incomplete download.

 Use mirror or rsync and repeat it until nothing new appears.  rsync is
 better, because it has an option to delete files on your mirror which are no
 longer on the server, but before the first use of rsync you need to run
 mirror -T ... to get the timestamps synchronised.

 Here's my rsync script.  Alter what applies to you, including the last line
 according to where your mirror is located.   The trailing slashes are
 important.

 #!/bin/bash
 echo
 echo hdc11 must be mounted to /mnt/local/cdrimage  !!
 echo
 rsync -vrltu --rsh ssh --delete \
 rsync://rufus.w3.org/linux/MandrakeCooker/oxygen/ \
 /mnt/local/cdrimage/oxygen/
