Re: Three things seem to be broken in RedHat 5.1 CD-ROM



1) On my computer installation forgot to create link in /lib/modules named
preffered.

2) /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit had to be modified by hand in order to careate
modul dependencies on each bootup.

3) 'quotaon -a' stuck with no reason during bootup.

4) gnome install doesnt work.

|1. LILO was not successfully made to work, so a boot
|   diskette is being used.  This topic was discussed in

|   At any case, this happened in both my installation
|   and the installation of someone who asked for my help.
|2. glint (RedHat's X-Window RPM manager) stops with
|   an error (accompanied by obscure Python or whatisit
|   traceback) when I command it to browse and list the
|   packages on the RedHat executables CD-ROM (1st
|   CD-ROM).  I can however navigate and install packages
|   which I see.  I only can't see what new packages are on
|   the CD-ROM.
|3. The non-GPL'ed BRU backup software does not work
|   on the PC which I use.  When activated, it claims to
|   fail some integrity checks.
|   (The PC in question has a SCSI tape backup drive
|   manufactured by HP, but the 'mt' command works
|   with it without problems).
|
|Did anyone else see similar problems to problems 2,3
|above?
|What did he/she do about problems 2,3?
|
|I am NOT asking for advice yet - I am just asking for
|other people's experience with RedHat 5.1.
|When and if I'll ask for advice, I'll post as many details
|about the PC configuration as possible.
