Failure during install.
I was installing YDL 3.0.1 on a G3 B&W Mac. It already has OSX and
Classic in partitions 2 and 3. There is 20GB free space for Linux
install as the first partition. Install selection was:
- Workstation, plus customized for most extras (about a 5.8GB install)
- It installs fine up to the last 2 packages of CD3...so 40 minutes of
sitting watching! I was just watching it tick out the last 1 minute it
had displayed as time left!!!!!
- It then jumps to text and spurts out a kill signal, install
terminated abnormally message and you may now reboot message.
- it can then only reboot direct to OSX. No yaboot!! So I have i guess
99% of the OS installed, but does yaboot go in last? As this is the
second run through, facing another 40 mins sitting there is too much
(as it is a machine in an office way from mine and I have to move about
between CDs!)
IS there any way to pick up a part install and complete it!?? OSX Disk
Utility can see (greyed out) the two main Linux partitions and indeed
they have lots of data on them....I am loath to have to start yet
again!
Thanks
