Error Installing Packages
I have posted this in different forums and so far no one has been able to figure it out.
athlon 2100 asus a7v333 visiontek GF 4 4600 Ti 1GB OCZ PC2700 (just 512MB's now) Western Digital 100GB Special Edition I/O Magic 48X12X48 Sony Floppy Mandrake Linux 9.1 Prosuit I am pretty sure that the system hardware is compatible with linux, as I had mandrake 9.0 installed a while back. At first I had problems with it because I had a gig of ram. I took a stick out then tried the installation. Next it would go through the installation and partially install. It got maybe 1/6 of the way completed. When it was installing xfree86, it would freeze making me reboot. This happened about 3 times or so. Then it gave this error for each part that was installing (opensll, ect.). However, it didn't say why it failed. It asked if I wanted to continue or cancel. Cancel would cancel the entire installation. Continue would try to install the next thing, which would also fail. No packages would install. Everyone failed. |
Welcome to LQ.
What CDs are you using? Are they home burnt? Did you verify the MD5 sums? Have you tried a different CD drive some installs are rather picky. |
I have also used a madog dvd drive.
They are not home burnt. They are from www.linuxandbsd.com. The CD's seem fairly professional. |
They probably are burnt and not originals. Try reburning them at a slower speed.
|
I can't burn them myself. All I can do is send the CD's back, which is what I am going to do.
