I'm trying to install Red Hat 5.2 from a hard drive but it tells me "error
opening directory" :(
I went over to a unix machine, downloaded the entire i386 directory, tarrged
and gzipped it.
Ended up with a file of around 425 megs. moved it over to my windows
machine that has
windows 95. Ungzipped and untarred it using winzip. Copied it to a hard
drive and checked
to see if I could see anything wrong. The names of the files and
directories all looked
proper. Turned the system off, moved the hard drive over to another system
and plugged
it in. Booted off the boot disk, specified install from hard drive, gave it
the supplemental
disk and when it prompts for the partition and directory, I tell it where to
look and everything
stops when it says, 'error opening directory'. The hard drive's a 3gig
drive but I partitioned
it out at 2047 to help make sure things are compatible back and forth. What
am I doing
wrong?
I saw a HOWTO on this awhile back but I can't seem to find it. Anyone know
where it is?
