I'm trying to install 2.0.5 from a DOS partition. If I tell sysinstall to get the distribution from a DOS partition it asks which one (I have 2, on different disks). Later when it tries to mount the dos partition it always fails. (I don't remember the error message now). Anyway, The other way I tried was to instead ask it to mount my dos partition in the Labeling menu, and to tell it to get the distribution from a mounted filesystem. This works, but (now comes the real problem) after unpacking root.flp, the last message on screen 2 is something like "DEBUG: Preparing /etc/fstab". Then nothing more happends. If I go to screen 4 there is a zero size /etc/fstab. If I press ^C I can choose to abort and reboot. I have tried some different configurations but it always stops in the same place. -- Mikael Hybsch Email: micke@dynas.se DynaSoft, Dynamic Software AB Phone: +46-8-615 84 00 Hammarby Fabriksv 13, Box 92058 Fax: +46-8-641 92 00 S-120 06 STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN
