Good Morning!


I downloaded the RedHat 5.2 version from one of your mirror
FTPs and tried to install it on my PC.

Environment:
- Pentium PC, 32MB, no SCSI, no network

I installed your previous RedHat versions in the same way,
that means RedHat 5.0 and RedHat 5.1. All previous
installations ran without any problem (I want to avoid that
you think I am a bloody beginner with minimum knowledge of
linux and Redhat).

But your version 5.2 can not be installed by copying the
files on hard disk.

I copied the FTP files on the hard disk, using the following
directory structure

/hdc1:
|
+- linux -- RedHat +-- base
                   |
                   +-- RPMS

I can start the installation by booting the boot disk and
entering later the supplementary disk correctly. I can also
set the mounting points with fdisk. I can also enter the
mounting path for the RedHat directory (/linux). But then
some strange things happen: your installation program
recognises the RedHat directory (if I enter a mounting point
different to /linux an error occurs that there is no redhat
directory found), but it can not read the files as should.
An error occurs that says that a directory can not be
opened. So I can not continue with the installation.

I tested the expert mode and also checked by switching the
consoles (ALT-F2, ALT-F3, ...) the structure and the
status of the installation process; the rhimage is empty,
that means it is not mapped.

To ensure that the bug is not system related I also tried
the installation on a second computer - same failure. It
must be a bug in your installation using a hard disk!!

Best Regards,


Jens

P.S.: Can you inform me when the bug is fixed?
