At which screen does it fail? Right before installing packages? After reaching 100% after installing packages the messge above is given. Did you set a mount point for your Windows partition? Yes. Mount point for Windows(DOS) partition was /dev/hda1. Thanks no, that's where the device is located. You selected the device in Disk Druid and then assigned its mount point to be /dev/hda1. /dev/hda1 is a device node, not a directory. You should mount it under /dosc or something like that. this unhandled exception will be handled in the next release. *** Bug 53969 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
