Cause: when you create the partitions as per documentation, you make: 10 MB
boot loader (appears as hfs). Then a swap partition (e.g. 128 MB swap). Then
the root partition (e.g. 3 GB, as ext2). The installer in simple mode does
then automatically assign the mount points, but incorrectly: it gives root
(/) to the 10 MB partition and does not mount the 3 GB partition. I just
have a memory hole that prevents me from precising if this occur before or
just after the partitions are formatted.
someone posted this, and suggested using the expert option to correct the mount points. Well, I've done this, a couple times now, re-burned and re-downloaded a couple times, and this same error still persists, telling me to continue manually, it seems to stop transferring packages at the same point, no matter what type of install is being used.
I have a powerbook ti g4/400mhz
