when choosing to install everything, the dev-entries, the MKNOD package and sometimes the sendmail install fails. this of course creates a situtation which is, ahem, critical. the SMB-type install seems to be flawed. a bit more of debug messages should be available, as I couldn't figure it out what happened. also, if you choose to Install over Upgrade, the default for formatting type-82 partitions should be the checked state. also, the special unattended install mode should be made available for FTP and SMB, too, as it is definitely easier to create and modify files on a network server than on, say, a CD... (one more thing: installer should support JOLIET type CDROMs as well.)
This has been assigned to a developer for further review.
Need more information. How do the installations fail? Do you have enough disk space? The default for filesystem formatting will not change. Changes for kickstart may appear in a future release. ------- Email Received From Andras <andras> 03/16/99 04:22 -------
