Hi,

I downloaded the 64 studio alpha 3.3 ISO and tried to install.

Â*

Configuring the network with DHCP – failed. Not a problem. I just chose “Do not configure network at this time�



Time zone – Eastern

Partition – Used entire Disk

Â*Used weak password (1 letter) while installing the base system.

The Base system installed fine.

Â*

During “Select and Install Software�, it stops at 11% - tasksel

For a split second it jumps to 85% and says “cleaning up� and then it says that the installation failed.

I’m running a P4 extreme 3.4 GHz with 2gig ram Dell inspiron 9100 Laptop. All myÂ*installs are using the i386 ISO's, not the 64 bit ones.

Jick

If you are using the alpha2 iso then it sounds like faulty media. Try
switching to the console with ctrl-alt-F4 when installation fails, and
there should be an error message there. Please let me know what that error
message says.

Cheers!

Daniel

Maybe some extra check is in order... however, I did a quick install
test on my MacBook with the latest i386 alpha and it installed an amd64
system, not an i386 one! AFAIK, P4 is 32-bit, isn't it?

One installation step failed: "chroot /target /usr/sbin/cdd-config
64studio" (IIRC) I tried chrooting in a console and running cdd-config
manually, but the "64studio" command can't be found.

The system boots fine. GDM works, but it didn't let me log in until I
explicitly chose the LXDE session. Some panel icons are missing. ALSA
seq is still broken.

Hope it helps,
Guido

If you at least will install one application, you likely will get all
missing icons. I've got no trouble with the alpha amd64, but I didn't
test ALSA jet. That we even need to install basics, such as PCManFM is
strange, but no big deal.

2 Cents,

Ralf

I think you must have mixed up the isos, as there are separate images for
i386 and amd64.

There are a few Pentium 4 CPUs that have the 64-bit feature, but most don't.

You should download the latest master iso, this bug was fixed in alpha2.

Cheers!

Shit happens don't feel ashamed, everybody sometimes didn't check MD5
sums and fooled his self, resp. everybody once compare an ISO with the
correct MD5sum and didn't note a fault, errare humanum est, simply
ignore ""Errare (Errasse) humanum est, sed in errare (errore)
perseverare diabolicum."" *lol* ... ähh, shit happens all the time.
