Linux

Hiya all,

Hope you can help.

I keep getting the same Error message when I try to install. I have tried several different Diskettes. And I finally ordered CDs from "FASTDISCs". The install "disc Checks" passed fine on these.

The error:
"The package usbitils-0.11.6.1 cannot be opened. This is due to a missing file or perhaps a corrupt package. If you are installing from CD media this usually means the CD media is corrupt, or the CD drive is unable to read the media.

Press <return> to try again."

Please help!

Martin

If Fedora is destined never to be on my Spare PC, whats the next best O/S for mainstream WEB SERVER Usage?


MY PC Details:

...er... Cheapee off internet...

k7vmm+ mainboard
Socket A support

AMD k7 processor

loads of ram etc.

I got that exact error when installing FC3 a couple days ago. Turned out I just clicked "OK" after putting in the next installation CD too quickly - the system hadn't had time to spin up and read the CD yet, and Fedora's installer program didn't like it.

Try again and wait a good 20-30 seconds after putting the next CD in before clicking ok and see if that helps. That is all it took to fix that error for me.

You have got to be kidding!

I dunno if I should laugh or cry....
