G'day,

Using the graphical installer on the LiveCD, I've encountered several
problems - 2 minor and 1 major.

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

<gli-profile>
...
  <portage-snapshot>
    file:///mnt/cdrom/snapshots/portage-20060123.tar.bz2
  </portage-snapshot>


and the tarball _does_ exist.

Any tips on how to get the install going?

Thanks.

David
