[SLE] V7.0 Professional - Yast2 hangs during installation
Help! I just bought Suse 7 Pro with great excitement but had a fairly frustrating evening trying to install it. Here are the details: i) I couldn't boot from the CDROM directly as my BIOS doesn't support that but booted from the first floppy and then ran Yast2 from the first CD. ii) All went well until I selected which packages to install. I selected a fairly conservative installation so that I could at least get a working system planning to add more packages later. During the installation of the packages ash.rpm gave an 'RPM error' message, I said continue and then just towards the end of the installation the big one k_dflt.rpm also gave the same 'error in RPM' message. The system then hung. I tried this a few times and using both of my CD drives. How annoying! Please help, thanks ian -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Very annoying!! I know the feeling. I got a bad CD with SuSE 6.3 or 6.4.. I cannot remember which.. I called SuSE and they sent me a new CD the same day! Worked like a charm :) Call SuSE. SuSE includes 60 days of free support by email, fax and 'phone for installation problems. Yours sounds like an installation problem. You bought the package.. You are entitled to the support. To date, I have personally been very happy with SuSE support. I hope your next install is successful :) In the meantime.. can you install without those problematic packages? type dmesg to see the errors Best Regards, -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
Yes I got a bad CD from Microsoft once - called Windows95. They told me it was a feature. Regards...

Oh come on..enough of the MS bashing. It is getting so old. I mean I am getting so sick of this type of crap. Talk about Linux..talk about your cat..talk about how drunk you got lastnight..but this is just lowlevel silly crap that got old a while ago. FYI : Before one accuses me of defending MS..grok this. I work for SuSE..I am just tired of this tired crap. * Bruce (bruce@toorak.com) [000908 21:21]: -->Yes I got a bad CD from Microsoft once - called Windows95. -->They told me it was a feature. --> -->Regards... --> --> -->> Very annoying!!

Yeah, but sometimes it's funny. And for those of us that have had to support win95, it's oh so true. I moved on to my current job because 1) it has no win95 machines, only winnt, which is tolerable, and 2) I have a Linux box, a SCO box, and several IRIX boxes to support. Greg
