Installing Packages from FC2 cd not working

sloik2000 · 08-16-2004, 10:56 AM

I have already installed FC2, but i need to install some new packages. I know what is wrong, but i can't fix it. The autorun on the cd is pointing to Redhat-cdinstall-helper in /usr/bin, but the real file is system-cdinstall-helper. The autorun file is like so...

Quote:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Autorun script for Red Hat Linux
# Copyright (c) 1999-2002 Red Hat, Inc.

dir=$(echo $0 |sed 's/autorun//')
cd $dir
tree=$(pwd)

# Change directories so we can unmount the CD-ROM Drive
cd /
exec /usr/bin/redhat-cdinstall-helper $tree

How do i run the program manually? I don't understand the code!

Thanks,
Sloik

HI,

its asking for ur cd-rom mount point

Do this ...

1)Login as root

2)Go into the cd-rom device directory..

#cd /mnt/cdrom [***this is mine So check ur system cd-rom mount point... ]

#./autorun

The autorun file is my whole problem. It doesn't list the right file to open. Therefore i get an error.

system-cdinstall-helper --mountpoint=/mnt/cdrom
