Unable to replicate in test lab. Am able to install from mastered cd here in the lab. From what I can tell from similar posts this problem is most likely the GTK.pyu gtk.py problem that happens on cd's mastered from a download to a windows box. This problem is due to case-indiference in windows box which Unix relies on. ------- Additional Comments From 10/17/99 06:37 ------- I have the same problem, but in this case it is because I need to install from a FAT32 hard drive partition (Sony C1F notebook: USB floppy drive, so I cannot load the PCMCIA floppy) I burned a CD using Joliet extensions to preserve the filenames, in order to xcopy it to a spare partition under Win98. However, in RedHat\instimage\usr\lib\python1.5\site-packages, there are files "GTK.py" and "gtk.py" which cannot coexist in a Windows directory. IMO this is a serious bug, as it makes the "install from hard drive" option pretty much useless. I cannot proceed now without hacking python code :-( Brian Candler <B.Candler> I should add that the problem was not with making the CD, but with copying it to the Windows machine (where it thought that two files on the CD had the same name). This problem would therefore also occur with the other "traditional" way of getting round problems with install media, i.e. using DOS/Windows FTP to fetch the installation files into a local directory. |
