Segmentation Fault while transferring Packages = bad CD?

[Pete Peters]

John,

Your question #2 was just answered by Christopher Murtagh to Joe Auty just a
couple of hours ago. In his case, he had too small a hard drive. The
solution was to do a Base Install, then rpm (forget using yup) the developer
stuff. I'll forward that email to you separately in case you missed it or
didn't see it.

Pete

Subject: Segmentation Fault while transferring Packages = bad CD?


I have a YDL 2.2 CD purchased retail (Microcenter in Cambridge, MA).

I have successfully installed from this CD to my PowerMac 7500/G3.

However, I can only use the "base install" set of packages - if I try to
use anything more (started with "everything," but "developer workstation"
and "home/office" also fail) the installer crashes - segmentation fault,
then it goes into halt mode, installer aborted abnormally, etc. Only option
is to reboot the machine.

Two questions:

1. Could these segmentation faults be caused by a bad CD? I could download
and burn the .iso to see if a new CD works.

2. Is there a way to go from base-install to developer workstation from the
command line? Can one mount the CD and install rpms directly from there? (I
was able to mount the CD-Rom from linux, but then ran into errors trying to
run YUP and installing XFree86. Seems like YUP couldn't read the installed
packages database or something.)

Thanks in advance

John
