Re: Major 7.1 Install Problem

["James Jackson" <james newerawd co uk>]

Hi,
    How do I go about passing those parameters? I am not given any time when
the CD boots to stop the loader and give commands to the kernal.

The exact text given is:

Running anaconda - please wait
exec: No such file or directory
install exited abnormally
sending termination signals...done
sending kill signals...done
disabling swap...
unmounting filesystems...
    /mnt/runtime
    /mnt/source umount failed ()
    /dev/pts
    /proc

you may now safely reboot your system

Cheers,
James.
