Title: Trouble installing SME 5.6 over network
Post by: Marc SIBERT on February 06, 2003, 07:37:18 PM

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

"The missing kickstart file problemI can be fixed quite easily - if you copy the from the directory on the 5.6 CD to the boot disk (either 5.12 or 5.6 version). You also need to edit the SYSLINUX.CFG file on the boot disk and replace the parameter with "

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