When I boot from the LPPC 2K install cd (using yaboot and the install
ramdisk), it all boots up properly and works until I get to the actual
package installation, when none of the RPMs will install, but just
return an error # 256; the terminal output from the installer I find
quite hard to follow, but it seems to be trying to do something with
/mnt/install. Looking in /mnt/install shows it to be empty.

If anyone could tell me what error 256 means, and whether or not
/mnt/install is meant to have anything in or not I'd be extrememly
grateful.

thanks,
tom hinton

I was getting this problem with a CD I'd burned - looked at the bottom
and it was *, with spots that I couldn't wipe off.

Burning a new copy fixed it.
