I got my hands on another machine, and it still reports VERSION file missing (right after probing serial ports) on current Cooker.

"Thomas M. Beaudry" [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Why no ability to choose packages I wish to install? This lack seems strange for an Expert install. fixed. it'was a transition. Screen updates were abysmally slow, about 30 seconds to redraw. ouch! maybe the new version (uploaded yesterday) may behave better... X configuration failed to recognize my graphics card (Trident 975) and gave me the fb kernel. Graphics resolution was limited to 640x480. Then it erred out saying it couldn't find the fb kernel. It was installed though, I looked. The X configuration did work fine for me with the previous versions of DrakX. fixed. Here's the errors I got on the various virtual terminals: F1 Errors: Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb' Error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to: No such user 0.

Allowed to choose packages now. Thanks. I still don't fully understand what the size slider is doing though. hopefully the message will become more explicit... (i'm not very good at nice messages) The screens are so slow that I wasn't about to try again with a different setting for it. this is fixed. currently uploading a new version (fixing the formatting stuff, see other mail) 2. When it goes to install the packages, I get the following error message: error opening RPM database: cannot open file /mnt/var/lib/rpm/nameindex.rpm: Invalid argument I checked and the file is there. Couldn't progress any further with the install. sorry, no clue ;-(
