I remember seeing a bunch of directories deleted and created last time I did a sync. Could it be that the directory structure changed a bit, but the boot image is still referring to the other structure? Chris

[Cooker] Panoramix install - attempt #2
Hi again, Okay, I ran an rsync and tried the Panoramix install for the second time (using mdkinst_hd.img). First the good news: - The slowness problem is gone. It's very quick now. - My parition table wasn't wiped! (Yay!) The bad news: After choosing my root partition, it asks which paritions to format (just between root and swap for me.) I clicked the root, then clicked OK. I then got the following error: all: can't opendir /tmp/rhimage/Mandrake/RPMS: No such file or directory I aborted at that point by hitting ctrl-alt-bs. When it dropped back to text mode, I noticed lots of "use of uninitialized variable" errors. It "use strict" being used? Maybe some checks for "defined($var)" need to be added? Anyway, I'm a glutton for punishment. Let me know when this is fixed and I'll give it another whirl. (I think I should order a tape backup system. :) Chris
