Installation started ok but stopped at 460 package of 906. I get an error message: kudzu-1.2.82-1-i386.rpm cannot be opened :( This is due to a missing file or corrupt file. And I have retry or reboot, and retry just shows the same message over and over again... uf :( -- http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.
