I tried (several times) installing CentOS-5.6 from a hard disk, and each time it failed after installing all the rpms, with the warning "The installation has tried to mount image #2, but cannot find it on the hard drive."
md5sum -c md5sum.txt.asc CentOS-5.6-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso: OK
The "image #2"... what about 2of2?
I suppose there could be something relevant on the 2nd DVD, although the first has been sufficient to install in 3 other ways:
- via HTTP from another machine on my home LAN;
- after copying the DVD-1of2 to a USB stick; and
- it was also sufficient on a machine with a DVD drive.
(The machine I was trying the hard disk install on- an HP MicroServer - has no DVD drive.)
You could put everything on an 8G USB key. <snip>
Now I have to work out how to install Windows on the machine, but I daren't ask about that here ... I need it because my ISP claims to have tripled the speed of my supply, but says I have to run a Windows CD to setup the modem he has given me.
?? What kind of modem? Linux handles almost everything. Certainly, I didn't need to install WinDoze to work with the DSL modem I got from Verizon.
