I recently installed Athena 9.2 on a tes machine. I having some =
difficulties with it I decided to revert back to Athena 9.1. I tried =
installing on on several different machines, (Dell GX1, Dell GX300, Dell =
GX260) on various hardrives, and using both version 3 and version 4 =
installers. I also tried both custom and default installations. Each =
attempt fails at about 95% with errors referring to "cannot mknod". The =
system then attempts to reboot but fails with a grun error 15 message. =
Upon further inspection it was clear that the installation was not =
completed. I brough a pc over to Athena Consultants and they verified =
after a few attempts that the installer was broken. Is there a =
workaround to this. Athena consultants had mentioned that using a =
modified control-set file, and redirecting the installation to use this =
control set may work. I was unsuccessful in this. Any help would be =
greatly appreciated as most of my development work is tied closely to =
the Linux Athena system, but also need to use php, mod_ssl, and Oracle.
