That NIC is the least of my problems (as described in the previous messages).
I first tried creating a DVD image as described in
http://www.linuxtx.org/amd64faq.html ... my DVD burner appears not to work
(or I do not know the magic to make it work). OK, so lets do a harddisk
install (it requires image(s)). Oops, that died during the install:
Traceback of the form:
usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py line 146
...
/usr/lib/anaconda/harddrive.py line 163
missing string += "\t\t\tCD#%d\n"
integer required.
OK, so back to trying to split the discribution to make cdrom images.
To run splittree, you need to run pkgorder first and I did:
PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder
/home/redhat/fc1/amd64/ x86_64 >/tmp/pkgorder.txt
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder", line 184, in ?
pkgOrder.append(hdlist[package].nevra())
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/hdrlist.py", line 390, in __getitem__
raise KeyError, "No such package %s" %(item,)
KeyError: No such package kernel-smp
Mumble, mumble ... now what? So try doing pkgorder for i386 (I have that tree
also). Running:
PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder
/home/redhat/fc1/i386/ i386 >/tmp/pkgorder.txt
runs ... no errors.
Anyone know what is going on?
