Re: Problems with the installation CD

I am having a ton of trouble installing from the CD. I get to the ash_ RPM files and it bails, i get

"an RPM error occured"

and then the installation bails. I am able to copy the contents of the CD off so i am not totally convinced that it is the CD but i am having some serious difficulty was wondering if there were any 'good' workarounds or solutions.

i am attempting to install the PPC version on a B&W G3 rev.1 (OS 8.6.1)on an external SCSI,

Any ideas?

I assume there are corrupt RPMs. Try to run

rpm --checksig --nopgp --nopgp suse/*/*.rpm

and see, if RPM complains about wrong MD5 checksums. This is safer than simply trying to copy the CD content.
