Hi - Are there any known problems with the ISO at the metalab site? I
down loaded, verified the checksum, burned it, and completed an install.
However, after encountering a number of problems, I checked the
install.log and discovered a bunch of errors and warnings. I am sure some
are no big deal, but some certainly are, such as the failure to install
things like binutils and enlightenment. Below are some of the problems I
encountered. Any ideas?
