Topic: won't install "dietlibc"

[Ronson]

Hi

Trying to install v6.0.1 on a P200 with 128MB ram. BIOS doesn't allow booting from CD, so I've created a bootdisk from images/boot.img.

It boots fine, but when anaconda pops up, it just says "Cannot find ks.cfg on floppy"?

method 2

Insert the e-smith CD into your CD drive.

Click the Start button, then Programs, then the MS-DOS Prompt icon.

    Thet're burying it deeper these days - Start >> Run >> type "cmd" (w/out ") on NT - descended OS's

At the prompt, type d:\dosutils\rawrite (assuming d: is your CD drive) and press Enter.

You will be asked for the disk image source file name. Type d:\images\boot.img (assuming d: is your CD drive) and press Enter.

You will be asked for the target diskette drive. Type a: (assuming a: is your floppy drive) and press Enter.

When prompted, insert a blank, formatted diskette into your floppy drive and press Enter.

The rawrite utility will return a message telling you whether your disk was created successfully.

The SME needs a file named KS.CFG which can be found with the name KS_STUB.CFG on the cd-rom. Use the command in : D: (the name of the cd-drive) copy KS_STUB.CFG A: A: rename KS_STUB.CFG KS.CFG

Yes, tried that (althoug I didn't read the documentation :/)

But then I can't select to install from CD. The options are NFS, HTTP and FTP. And neither work.

So trying another CD-drive and DVD-ROM-drive helped a bit.

I'm also on my second CD-R, burned at 4x speed so it should be readable.

And it keeps saying it can't install "dietlibc", and then reboots.

What to do?

Oh well.. Format + Windows XP did the job.
