Topic: Trouble installing SME 5.6 over network

[Marc SIBERT]

Hi,

I am installing SME over network (I tried FTP and HTTP : same problem).

The comp. boots correctly on the diskette, then load the image netstd1.img, and then run "Anaconda".
After a few seconds, I receive the following dump :

>Traceback(innermost last):
>  File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 603, in ?
>    instClass.setInstallData(id)
>  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.3//usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py', line 890, in setInstallData
>  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.3//usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py', line 500, in readKickstart
>IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/ks.cfg'
>install exited abnormally
>...

So what ? Should I make a ks.cfg on the diskette ? Then with what inside ?
I can't find any "howto".

Please help !

Marc

Just to let you know that I tried the previous workaround and it didn't work.
