Hi, I am having one major issue on the install of 5.3 on an Alpha164SX. I downloaded the miniinst iso image, burnt all ok, and installed vai FTP (master site) ok. (used master site as the UK sites were giving me problems with not having the files for 5.3-RELEASE) HOWEVER. When I try to install pre-packaged files (for example, i want to install cvs-without-gui, and don't want to have to spend and disk space with everything that compiling this package would require) i get an error message as follows.. Unable to get packages/INDEX file from selected media. This may be because the packages collection is not available on the distribution media you've chosen, most likely an FTP site without the packages collection mirrored. Please verify that your media, or your path to the media, is correct and try again. This happens no matter which FTP site i try. I saw this as a problem in the x86 tree, but that was a problem with the FTP site... Anyone give me a hand with 5.3 for AXP in the same way ? Cheers AM
