Hi, I am having a peculiar problem with installing 5.1, has anyone successfully used the floppies (made from the ISO image) to boot and install from a CD or DOS partion? When I try I get the following error: Error mounting /dev/acd0 on /dist: No such file or directory (2) My cd rom appears to be fine, appears in dmesg as: acd0: CD-RW <LITE-ON LTR-52327S> at ata0-slave BIOSPIO When I use a fixit disk, I discover that indeed the /dist directory does not exist!! I have tried this now on two computers, a P2 266, and a P1120. They both report the same problem, even when I try and use a DOS partion to load the dist. Any help appreciated, - jacob Jacob Rhoden Phone: +61 3 8344 4478 ITS Division Email: jrhoden@unimelb.edu.au Melbourne University Mobile: +61 403 788 386
