by I'm having problems with installation of LinuxPPC 2000 on a PPC 7200. When
I boot from the CD, the installer shows garbled text using any option other
than Install with "Ultra Safe Video." When I use this setting, I get the
penguin in the upper left corner and text scrolls by saying that this or
that can't be done and symlinks can't be created (is it trying to write to
the read-only CD?). Then it says it will start up the X installer. When
this fails (which I don't care about; I should use the redhat installer
anyway, with only 24M RAM), it says "/etc/X11/X: permission denied" and I'm
left in the shell without a clue. If I type "exit" it says that it is
exiting the graphical installer, and that the install files could not be
located. It says that the files "must be placed on an HFS partition, HFS+
will not work." Okay, fine -- but I thought all the files were on the CD!
Help, please!
