and i have 3 options there : "OK" . "SAVE" . "DEBUG"
when i choose ok , the screen say ":

sending termination signal... done
sending kill signal.. done
disabling swap..
unmounting filesystems :
/mnt/runtime/usr
/mnt/runtime
/dev/pts
/proc
you may reboot your sytem safely now.
i already tried this several times but it always end up the same, always error
after reading the packages. i tried to use the update of anaconda (update-disk-
20001009.img) but it doesn't help much.
Additional information, the RPMS and base files are located in drive C : with
windows 98 (FAT32), and trying to install the RedHat Linux on drive D :
Please help... I'm stuck as hell :(
Thanks, Regards Hansen
to msf I finally figured out why i keep getting the error. the culprit was the indexhtml.rpm files. i think it was somewhat corrupted, i downloaded it again ( force using binary mode) and the installation goes smooth. Thank for the support Hansen Thanks for the feedback - glad it worked! We've seen this error alot seems like there is a mirror or something with corrupted files? |
I always get this error after the screen says "Reading Packages"I already download the anaconda image files and do whatever suggested there but still no luck.. :( Please help. Any suggestion or reply would be appreciated. Thanks in advance..
