Guest tezca Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 I have set up an NFS server to do installs over the network but have a problem the installation dosn't complete, the error I get when its almost done down to the last 60 or 70 rpms, something like cannot open the XXXXX.rpm file may be corrupted, if this installation is from a cd then the media may be corrupted, some thing like that. anyways I think perhaps has to do with way I set up the directory 3 CDs all in one Dir..... perhaps I need 3 directories? e.g. #/etc/exports /mnt/rhat 192.168.1.254(ro,sync) when I created the dir rhat I copied the rpms in the directory as so # mount /mnt/cdrom # cp -var /mnt/cdrom/RedHat /mnt/rhat then did this for each cd but put all in the same dir so of course I got this message # warning TRANS.TBL already exists do you wish to overwrite?(y/n) I typed n for no, but I'm thinking now that was it, so i'm wondering should I make 3 dirs inside the rhat dir e.g. disc1, disc2, disc3 and if so would the installation program descend into each directory? or do I need to make symbolic links? :? any help would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aru Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Did you check the most obvious? The corruptness of any of the rpm packages (*just* check the md5sum) in case you don't know how, run for each MD5SUMs file: 'md5sum -c MD5SUM_FILE | grep -v OK' in the directory with the rpms. That should tell you if you have any corrupted package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tezca Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 I redid the install tree as I did the first time, this time saying YES to overwrite TRANS.TBL and it worked so I guess that was it thanks anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
