[Cooker] [Bug 3156] [Installation] Need verification for install disks
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3156 [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What|Removed |Added Status|RESOLVED|UNCONFIRMED Resolution|INVALID | --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-26 19:47 --- OK, now that the final build is out for Mandrake 9.1, I'd like to try this. HOWEVER, it seems the only way to get this to work is to already *have* a running Mandrake install. And if I have a Linux desktop at work built on a different distribution, there's no clues to be found of what CPAN packages I need to make this run without installing a multitude of Mandrake dependencies. There is a documentation page at http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~warly/files/mkcd/, but it is virtually empty. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: 9.1 release candidiate 2: During numerous attempts at installing RC2, I have encountered a point most of the way through the install where the installer becomes unable to read many of the packages it is attempting to install. The particular packages are never the same from one try to the next. I have re-created the CDs from the ISO files, using different brands of disks, and tried installing from the CD-RW drive in the system rather than the CD-ROM drive. The ISO files passed md5sum tests. 8.2 9.0 install CDs have worked flawlessly on this system. What would make this easier to troubleshoot is if there were a way to verify the CD has been written correctly. Not a utility that checks at install time, but a way to validate from the system that wrote the disks.
