I'm installing from the minimal installation CD (tried w/ knoppix before). BUT today I OFTEN get IDE READ errors and afterwards - no command works. No shutdown, no halt, nothing. Pressing the Power button don't do anything either (oh GREAT) - I have to pull the cable (!). It seems it gets worse. The same happened w/ the knoppix CD i tried to use for booting yesterday - at first OK, then read errors, getting worse --- what gives?? > Has anyone tips how to handle this (no, getting a new CDROM drive is not a FAST option :-() > ciao, > Wolfgang I suggest, if possible, not using the CDROM drive, if possible. Can you install from a USB stick? Or, do you have, or can you get, an external device to use for the purpose of installing the OS? -Thufir -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
