A couple of problems...

caps_phisto · 06-16-2005, 10:31 AM

My first problem is with a network install of Fedora Core 4. When it goes to format the drives I get the following error:

Code:

Individual package selection status:

I at first thought it was the ISO on the NFS share. I have since re-downloaded it only to arrive at this same error. Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

My next problem has to do with Eclipse. This problem has occured after a successful CD installation.

When I start Eclipse, I will get the splash screen then I will get the main screen. It is here that my entire machine locks up. Keyboard, mouse, everything. I can't even switch to a console to kill the program.

Any help with either of this issues would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having the same problems w/ kickstart. it seems only to happen when try to remove packages (-<packagename>). i can get kickstart to work if i include groups (@<groupname>), but not if i try to remove individual packages.
i even tried to use the kickstart file that was generated during an install, that failed. so here's my ks.cfg:
