How do you install from the DVD with GRML's assistance? Cheers, -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Albert E. Sten-Clanton Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 3:27 AM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: in case this helps anybody Last Tuesday, I wrote here about yum not updating. Because I couldn't find or figure out how to fix this, I reinstalled FC6 from the DVD image last night. It just seemed worth a shot. It didn't help. I tried the upgrade approach today, but that was a waste. Being curious, I tried again installing from that hard drive partition but using the CD images instead of the DVD one. Well, I got the old message about a missing package and the choice to reboot or retry. So, though I know others have noted troubles using the DVD, it looks like my old FC6 installation blues arise only from the CD, whether as an image on the hard drive or as a burned CD. I of course don't know if this info will help to solve the mystery of the disk -99 error message (which is what I got if I retried instead of rebooting), but I pass it along in case it might. In the meantime, I'll likely either hang out with my good buddy GRML or reinstall FC6 from the DVD image with GRML's assistance. Each has its pros and cons.
