Hi,
I'm geting the following error message from my Sun Blade 100 when I 
try to install the latest release base on ISO: 5.0 
20030119-SNAP-sparc64-disc.iso .

"unable to transfer the base distribution from acdo"

I am able to get it to successfully write the file system to the 
drive but that is all.

I get the same thing after booting the live file system:
5.0-20030119-SNAP-sparc64-disc2.iso (either from the CD on the Ultra 5
or via NFS from a -STABLE PIII), and the install iso:
5.0-20030119-SNAP-sparc64-miniinst.iso gives me the
following (Ultra 5, both iso images had correct md5):

<snip>
ok boot cdrom

Can anyone recommend a snap known to install on an Ultra 5,
or should I just go for 5.0-RELEASE?

Thanks,
Bud Dodson
