Install error
 

Someone must hate me. The install was kinda confusing but i think i got it right. I was installing and i got an error that said "fatal error occurd during install.... /var/log/mount/slackware/ap/ash-0.4.0-i386-1.tgz couldent install er sumthin and you can click continue but it may not work properly. " but there was a small prompt at bottom, and i couldet hit continue. What should i do? Should i reburn the cd? i only have one more left.

wow.

mmmmmhmmm. Sorry to be such a noob if i am, ive been trying to get suse to work for a week with no luck at all. Now im trying slack because that was my backup, and i get this error and need help. :scratch: :Pengy:

PS i edited post above if u couldent understand.

How big is the paritition you are installing to?

8GB root......1gb swap.

Oh if it matters, reiser was highlited so i just went with that.

Before I would burn another CD I would check the MD5 checksums on your downloaded iso image.

Is the code in there the md5sum?

ftp://dl.xs4all.nl/pub/mirror/slackw...all-d1.iso.asc


under the d1 iso the numbers in the .asc?

It did that during the first popup for installing packages. Its not that one, it more then one...i press enter 5 times and all had the error and i didnt hit ok beyond there. Hrmmm

I just checked the MD5SUMS *assumuing their the same as from here ftp://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/pub/...all-d1.iso.md5 * and they match. What to do?

does your OS ( Slack ) actually work ?
( as you only got one error on the "ash " package )

I replied with another post saying there was more then one. sry. and no im not on it. I went trhough five but then decided to stop. Ill burn with nero instead of this isoburner... Do you think i should risk my last disk? (worried that if i skip them all and slack dosent work that at reboot i wont get choice of botting to windows)

if you want to check the readability of the current cd, just try to copy one of the files that wouldn't install.
like this one : slackware/ap/ash-0.4.0-i386-1.tgz

just copy it somewhere with windows and see if it's all read. ( afterwards delete the thing from hd.)
if that gives errors too, your cd is probably not ok.
( when you burn cd's, use not the highest speed .... )

I dont know what that iso burner records it as...its a simple next next done burning and finalizing program. Ill use nero next,

hey man..i got this message when dragging to desktop

cannot copy --filename --- cannot read from source file or disk

well....that cd is just nogood.
try nero ( i think it's under "recorder---->burn iso " ).
and you can set speed there....

I did, no copy error. Ill try it now. thanks man
