Installation problem
 
I am trying to install Vector on an already partitoned HD where XP is one operating system and Libranet is the OS that I want to install Vector's over. I am using Vector SOHO 3.0 but I have also tried Vector 4.0 and get the same results. I choose pentide at the beginning of the installation process. I get as far as the partitioning phase. If I allow Vector to try automatically, it says that it can not find any Linux partitions. I then try cfdisk. selection to partition. It comes back with an error saying to check for bz2 program., See if it is installed, check to see if it is written all lower case, (but doesn't say how to perform these checks) , and says something this usually just being a typo, but since I didn't type anything I don't see how. The bottom of that error window then says Error, /dev/scd7/is not a valid block device.

I ran the CD's on M$ and looked in the files and there is a Vector bz2 file on the V4.0, and a Vecsoho.bz2 file on the Soho version.

Any one know how to fix this?

Also. how do you use the md5sum check on the OS?

Disregard, I got it running. For anyone else who reads this, Vector has to be installed from the first Drive on your system. That was the problem.
