Re: Installation Prob: Many RPM script failures...

[Bryan Bartone <bbartone edgenet net>]

Do you have the install log? It should be in your /tmp directory.
This will tell use what failed to install. During intallation use
ALT-<F3> to switch to the error log console. (ALT-<F1> takes you back
to the installation tool.)

Also how have you partitioned hdb?
