install woes on my powerbook -or- No such file or directory: "/mnt/sysimage/root/install.log"

[Matthew Hiltner]

I have tried a few different times now to install YellowDog Linux on my
powerbook. I am not setting it up for a dual boot and I think I have deleted
the old partitions.

After trying custom installs a few times the last attempt was using the
generic settings (just "next" the whole way through) ... yet I always get
this error message... (last two lines)


Quote:
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", live 740, in doInstall
instLog = open(instLogName, "w+")

IOError. [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
"/mnt/sysimage/root/install.log"



searching for this error message has only given me ".discinfo" results...
nothing for install log.

any ideas on what is going on here?

thanks in advance
