Description dpawluk 1999-04-23 11:30:12 EDT

when installing from an additional partition which contains
the distribution, if the partition is mounted by disk druid
the symbolic links to the source files fails with the
message that the partition is already mounted. this did not
occur in 5.9.9. if the install partition is not mounted by
disk druid the install works ok.

hard drive install?

Comment 2 David Lawrence 1999-05-10 17:04:59 EDT

Please attempt this again with the final release of 6.0 and reopen
this if it still occurs.
