I am trying to install version 8.0 on a laptop system from a partition on its hard disk drive (on which I have copied the content of the installation CD's). After setting up the various installation parameters (partitioning, software packages, language, etc.), the installation process fails with a message: "Could not mount the source medium. Mount: /dev/hda3 already mounted or /tmp/mnt busy. Mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda3 is mounted on /var/adm/mount". I switch to a console (active at that time), issue a "mount -v" command and see that /dev/hda3 is mounted in two different mount points: /mounts/extra & /var/adm/mount. I am allowed to unmount the first mount point, the second, however, appears to be busy (obviously because the content of the installation directory - on the hard disk drive partition - is mounted there). I suppose this is a bug of the installation process. Does anybody know whether this can be resolved and how? Since SuSE Linux has been my beloved operating system for years, I really hate to say that installing Mandrake 8.2 was a no-brainer effort in the same context (installing from a hard disk drive partition)...
