I tried to install UT2000 and UT2003, I get the same error for both of them.
Just a few seconds after the installation starts, it tells me that my cdrom isnt mounted and that I should mount it. I believe it is mounted, because if it wasnt, I wouldnt be able to see the files in the cdrom
so what am I doing wrong here?
And you are placing it into the /dev/cdrom? What I mean is, do you have 2 cdroms, and you are placing it into your correct drive? To check:
eject /dev/cdrom
Also, I am researching this a bit, and I found a bit of info, apparently there is something called a PET section? It supposedly has instructions on installation, have you checked this if you have any idea what it is?
I will check around a bit more, let me know if you are using the correct device.
Thanks MasterC for helping... Well I checked it, it's the correct device, and yeah I have 2 cdroms (one dvd) but I tried both of them, same thing. Also I tried this in another version of linux besides RH8, still the same error. I couldnt find any installation instructions on this thing
I dont mount the cdrom manually, I'm just putting the CD in and I think it mounts it itself. I dont know, anyways I tried to mount it to /mnt/cdrom with the mount command, but still I get the same error
Here's what UT2003's installation says when I run it from the console:
[root@localhost cdrom]# sh linux_installer.sh
Copying to a temporary location...
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

what is this fd0, I tried to mount it to mnt/cdrom and I get this, same as above

You might be running into those GTK+ errors because you are using an old version, Mandy 9.0 would probably not have those errors.
As for it trying to access your floppy, I am not quite sure. Can you edit any files? What I mean is, does it put any files onto the hard drive....
Wait, you asked that question already question, try it. Go ahead and copy the disc to the hard drive and see what you get. Do it using dd like this:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/ut/ut2003.iso
Then you should be able to mount it with:
mount -o loop /home/ut/ut2003.iso /mnt/cdrom
And then browse over to /mnt/cdrom:
cd /mnt/cdrom
ls -l (LS -L lowercase)
To see if it actually mounted correctly. Then from there, see if you can run it...
Just an idea since I am fresh out of real knowledge here
Hey...
well, 2 things: one, you said that's floppy drive, well my floppy drive isnt working at all. In fact I get a nice little error when I'm booting my comp (from the setup, not linux). I just havent had time to replace it. Could that be causing a problem?
TWO! I tried that thing. It didnt work It's weird because I can go to /mnt/cdrom and see all the files in the ISO file, but when I run the setup program it doesnt do anything and it says please mount the CD first. If I try to run the setup program with the CD in, it will do some stuff and THEN it will give me the error...
don't know if this will help, but here's how i got mine load'd
mount the cd, and ran install.sh on disk 3
when it asks for next disk ( disk1) i typed eject in a shell, and swapp'd disks, and press'd ok. and repeat'd .....
I know this is an old thread, but it saved my day. I was having the same errors, in fact my system would completely lock up an hour into the installation! For any other poor b_stard struggling with UT2003 install, here's what worked for me:
Copy the three CDs to the hard drive. The path is an example. My file naming convention is shown in ().
Open another terminal window and, as root and when prompted for a CD change:
# mount -o loop /home/ut/ut20031(or ut20032).iso /mnt/cdrom
It takes a lot of spare HD space, but I can play my Christmas present under Linux. Thanks, MasterC, for the alternate mount suggestion. It worked like a charm!
When I tried to install ut2003 tonight on the latest version of SuSE I had a problem with the installer looking for the install source on various HD's fixed-disks removerorable media and various cdroms. This problem was causeing the install to go at a super slow rate.
I assume this has something to do with the fact I have more than one cdrom. One website tells you to use the command
"export SETUP_CDROM=/(where ver install media is)/"
The first time i tried this I could not install the play disk due to the device being busy. So I put the install disk in one cdrom and set the "export SETUP_CDROM=/(where ver install media is)/" to the other cdrom. Hope this helps
