Today I did my first 2.0.5 installation again in some weeks of 'abstinence'
and got some pitfall right away:
DecPC 466D2, Quantum 525 MB, 20MB ISA.
The installation script warned me that I had a read-only root device
and that it may not find some /dev entries later.
I chose NFS installation and gave the following NFS string:
100.0.0.119:/home/2.0.5-950622-SNAP (I'm not on a regular network
with this box)
and after saying I had no name server and gateway the script choked
when saying that mount on 100.0.0.119:/home/2.0.5-950622-SNAP /nfs
could not be found, where I don't know whether it was /nfs that could
not be created or wasn't there or if it was the host/path that could
not be found.
I'm trying now already for four ours to get a kernel on that damn box
but with these hyperintelligent scripts - your work in all honors, Jordan -
it's nearly impossible to do an enforced installation if something
strange occurs. It's not even possible to shell out at this point
and do the ftp or mount manually.
