Package: installation-reports
Severity: Normal
Hi!
These days, I tried to install a P2 based PC with the ~100 MB CDROM
image. Installation was okay mostly, but I ripped the power cord...
Powering up the box again, I was taken back to base-config (which is
okay) and asked for a working sources.list. sources.list *is* okay, but
base-config things it isn't, because apt-get or dpkg refuse to work,
which base-config interprets as a broken sources.list.
In my case, this wasn't the "expected" case: The error reported is that
I should re-run "dpkg --configure -a" manually, which I'd normally
simply do. But unfortunately, VCs aren't yet available, nor is there a
way to choose "Execute a Shell" somewhere...
Rebooting again, I tried to additionally supply "rw init=/bin/sh" to
grub's kernel parameters, but seems these were ignored. System booted up
as previously and I was asked to create a working sources.list ...
MfG, JBG
