003 The live tale of a network install of RH 7.3 PART3 DAS_dumbem_redhatums.

3.1 the formatting went quickly, but I'd expect that on ata133 drives. The packages started in stalling and the install stopped and informed my that it could not find openjade......rpm. So back over on angle I did a find.
find |grep openjade.

3.2 Well it's on disc2 and not on disk1. see 2.13 #reply-17610049

3.3 I decided I would copy
cp ./DISK_2/RedHat/RPMS/* ./DISK_1/RedHat/RPMS/
I did not allow and overwrite of the trans.tbl ??? hmmmm...
After this was complete the install still fails to find openjade. Well sometimes there is a delay in refreshing contents of a directory. But let check the copy...

well all seems OK and the install in stuck in a I got a problem, press enter to try again. Tried several keys and their is not apparent way to break out of loop.

3.4 reboot and try install again.....

3.5 on the restart of install I noticed that the installer correctly identified my matrox card and my hitacti monitor.

3.6 well I entered all the install stuff again, but did not format the ext3 partitions. Package install started at 1:45 wrist watch time. I have an estimated 30 minute install. I'd guess the pacing item is the fact that I have a 100baset connection. I wonder what a 40x or 24x cdrom install to ata133 drives would take.

3.7 at 9:48 minutes again openjade is reported as a missing file. hmmmmm.....

<ctrl+alt> <F2> get a terminal <ctrl+alt> <F7> will return to the install.

I did df and saw the /mnt/source is angle:/hdb4/REDHAT_7.3/DISK_1 and this is how it should be. I did and ls -al of /mnt/source/RedHat/RPMS/openjade...rpm and it is there and has size. I copied it to /hdf1 well that's really /mnt/sysimage/hdf1. This seems normal. Could indeed this file be corrupt or is this some hiccup in the REDHAT install where they never asked about where the second disc2 image was.... ??? or do I have to add together the translation tables ???? hmmmm.....

3.7 well the sun is out and I think I'm going to the Strawberry festival and maybe take some pictures.
