Description Coy Krill 2000-08-08 21:05:15 UTC
Installing via FTP using the PCMCIA image diskette results in an error just
after selecting the location of the boot image.

Setup:
	FTP server: non-anonymous with CD1 ISO image mounted via loop1
	Installing PC: Compaq Prosignia 165 with Compaq EtherNet adapter.

The following is the complete text of the anacdump.txt file:

Comment 1 Brock Organ 2000-08-10 23:29:11 UTC
hmmm ... I could not reproduce this problem in our test lab here:

1) mounted disc1 ISO image via loopback on our server
2) mounted disc1 CDROM image via /dev/scd0

in both cases, I was unable to get a traceback during the LILO screens
(performing a minimum custom install)

Comment 2 Brock Organ 2000-08-14 19:06:47 UTC
did you create a composite tree (ie the RPMs from both CDs in the RPM directory
in your FTP tree ...?) ... If not, I am wondering if you tried selecting a
package that is on CD #2 while only having the RPMs from CD #1 in the tree ...

Comment 3 Coy Krill 2000-08-22 17:32:23 UTC
No I didn't combine the two CD's.  I'll try that on my next attempt.
