I grabbed this one just to follow the thread, Jeff. Anyway, I now have a repeat install failure, on the same file it upchucked over before I believe, this time while doing a full automatic install on /dev/hdb. >From the installer screen: There was an error installing openoffice.org-i18n-1.1.2-10. This can indicate media failure, lack of disk space and/or hardware problems. This is a fatal error and your install will be aborted. Please verify your media and try your install again. >From the end of the /mnt/sysimage/root/install.log: error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/resource/svx64508.res; 41f03elf: cpio: MD5SUM mis-match. There didn't seem to be anything related to that in the /mnt/sysimage/root/install.log.syslog. Now, this all points to a bum cd, but its been md5sum'd several times now. Chances are than a restart will work. Maybe. Its failed 2 out of three times through this loop now. I'll see if an older burner I have will fit without having to hack up the face of the box with a hacksaw tomorrow, it was working just fine in this box when I took it out to make room for a dvd burner last spring. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
