Minor problem: after being prompted for ethernet configuration (static in my case) and modifying the DNS address (from 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.1 ... to 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.2), /etc/resolv.conf is not updated, i.e. it doesn't have an entry for my name server. This is easily fixed, but I'm reporting it for completeness. Minor problem: the LiveCD allows emacs to be run from its menus. However it's not usable since characters aren't displayed in a readable manner. I'm guessing that fonts aren't configured. Major problem: GLI: ... - Fetching and unpacking tarball: GLI: ... - Exception received during 'Unpack stage tarball': GLIUtilityError :FATAL: get_uri: File does not exist or URI is invalid! GLI: ... - Traceback (most recent call last): GLI: ... - File "/opt/installer/GLIClientController.py", line 165, in run self._install_steps[self._install_step]['function']() GLI: ... - File "/opt/installer/GLIArchitectureTemplate.py", line 306, in unpack_stage_tarball GLIUtility.fetch_and_unpack_tarball(self._install_profile.get_stage_tarball_uri(), self._chroot_dir, temp_directory=self._chroot_dir, keep_permissions=True, cc=self._cc) GLI: ... - File "/opt/installer/GLIUtility.py", line 557, in fetch_and_unpack_tarball if not get_uri(tarball_uri, temp_directory + "/" + tarball_filename, cc): GLI: ... - File "/opt/installer/GLIUtility.py", line 478, in get_uri raise GLIException("GLIUtilityError", 'fatal', 'get_uri', "File does not exist or URI is invalid!") GLI: ... - GLIException: GLIUtilityError :FATAL: get_uri: File does not exist or URI is invalid! As can be seen, the installer is failing to find the tarball it wants. FWIW, installprofile.xml contains: installprofile.xml ... file:///mnt/cdrom/snapshots/portage-20060123.tar.bz2 and the tarball _does_ exist. Any tips on how to get the install going? Thanks.
