Hi - Further to my e-mail from yesterday, I'm trying to use
"gnoppix-0.6.0-RC1" to install on my hard drive. Here are the error
messages that I get after it copies a number of files to my hard drive
& after entering the passwords for both user & root:
tar (child): /mnt/tempdir/var/www.tgz : cannot open: no such file or
directory
tar (child): error is not recoverable; exiting now
tar: child returned status 2
tar: error exit delayed from previous errors
warning: etc/lilo.conf should be readable only for root if using PASSWORD
added gnoppix *
It then stops installing & brings me to the root prompt. I have no
idea how to fix the above. Any help that you can provide to install
the software on my hard drive would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Ron

Hi - I'm brand new to Linux & love the Gnoppix software. The Gnome
desktop is just great. I would like to install Gnoppix on my hard
drive but it won't let me. The hard drive is 20 GB & Gnoppix will be
the only operating system on the drive. I have used the install
program found in the Gnoppix folder on the desktop. After it copies
a number of files to my hard drive & after entering the passwords for
both root and user, a number of messages scroll on the screen
indicating that certain files are missing. It then stops installing &
brings me to the prompt. When I type in 'gdm", an message appears
stating that certain files are missing & to contact the system
administrator. Any help that you can provide to install the software
would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ron
