I'm installing YDL 2.2 on a PowerMac 6500/300 and the installation keeps
hanging during package install - here's the info:
1. Partitioned drive (10gb IDE) into 2 partitions, first for YDL (5gb
appx.), second for Mac OS 8.6 (5gb appx.)
2. Installed Mac OS 8.6 on the second partition
3. Installed BootX onto the Mac OS 8.6 system and rebooted
4. Started the YDL install - selected DEFAULT and DEVELOPMENT
WORKSTATION install
5. YDL begins the install (partitioned drive, etc.) and begins through
package installation.
6. Every time it gets to "ghostscript-fonts" it begins hanging.
The first time through it hangs on "ghostscript-fonts" ... the mouse
locks up, the system stops responding.
Then I reboot and restart the install ... it gets to the
"ghostscript-fonts" package and then says "Package ghostscript-fonts
already installed and is the latest version" ... I click OK ... then it
hangs on the next package. Then reboot and it gets to this package and
does the same thing. I have to reboot after every package is installed
to get the installation to continue.
Machine Specs:
PowerMac 6500 / 300mhz (603e)
64MB Ram
10GB HDD (Maxtor - IDE)
24x CD
100MB Zip
1.44MB Floppy
Ethernet (RealTek)
USB Card
Anyone have any idea what this could be? Any input?
Thanks,
Joshua Miller
