Can't install xcdroast

Deke1955 · 09-21-2005, 04:28 AM

Has anyone had this problem; I try to install xcdroast filename: xcdroast-0.98alpha15-1.i586.rpm

A gmessage appears asking to insert the medium named "installation CD2" on DEVICE [/dev/hdc]

I insert CD2 into cd drive & click OK but, nothing happens - would this be because the device name from the gmessage & hence, the execution code is wrong?

Thanks again to everyone in advance (please remember I am not new to computers but, have not done very much code tinkling in Linux).

as root

Code:

rpm -ivh xcdroast-0.98alpha15-1.i586.rpm

will install that.
I don't recal how Mands diskdrake or package mgr works.

Do you have more then one CD? It may be looking for /dev/hdd if you do, however, as stated above setup your urpmi resources. The version that is on the CD is probably an older version.
