hi there - can any kind person help with this one ?!
..it was exciting because i just bought a new iBook2001, and
i had been learning some Linux with YDL2.0 on a 6100, but
on the iBook, the installer quits with a fatal error which I
should report back to TerraSoft. I haven't written down the
details because the error happens when installing the home office,
or workstation set-ups, but not with the base install, which
i have just done - and that seems to work fine, and i'm just
working up the patience to try again. The message was along
the lines of <couldn't write the config files for eth0>.
This happens during the transferring packages stage.
Obviously, i'll copy the error message down and forward it,
if this isn't a frequently encountered problem.
Does anyone have any ideas to get me going ?
the iBook has three (+ swap + bootloader) partitions for,
OS9.1, OS X, and YDL2.0, and i really need a dial-up connection,
not Ethernet. There's no AirPort card, and the Mac OSs all seem
to be working fine.
thanks
Richard
