Mr. Kern ! Thank you for that suggestion, it got me going in the right direction. Actually, the "installer" ID puts the installation SYSLOG in : /var/log/installer/syslog
and once I looked in there and then learned how to use the cat and tail commands to view the file and see what it was complaining about, the problem was obvious.. NOT ENOUGH DASD ! So, after giving it four 3390-27's with their 32000 cylinders, the install went smoothly to a successful conclusion.... So that takes care of that problem ... any of the rest of you who are going to try this remember...4 3390-27's ... maybe 4 3390-9's with 10017 cylinders would have done the trick but I'm not smart enough yet to find where Linux tells you how much of any volume you're using. Anyway, the install succeeded, but now I have another problem... and I will open another thread to discuss it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philipp Kern" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 06, 2012 1:55 PM Subject: Re: Squeeze failing during "Select and Install Software" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
