Unable to install elive !!!

[katatonia]

---

i guess during the burning of the iso, something failed. after loading elive
up, i click on the installer icon and i get this little box saying:

/advanced tab/
elive installer stopped running unexpectedly

/error information/
an ext code of 1 was returned from sudo eliveinstaller

/output data/

i really don't have that info handy, maybe i should dowload it again
or try reburning it, i don't know. please advice, leo

sorry i posted here, somehow i couldn't find a #new thread# button

No problem, I've moved it for you.

In the future...

Select the forum your post should go in.
Click "New Thread" button.
Enter your Title and Text.
Press "submit new thread" button.

It's as easy as that!

It seems I'm still stuck. I'd used nero for my first cd and after chatting with a friend, he adviced to use alcohol 120. I did exactly as he adviced, elive booted just fine, except when clicking on the installer icon, now nothing happens; it's acting like the installer was empty. even though having spent money for 2 cd's which had to be trashed, i feel a little upset about not being able to install elive.

any suggestions?

thanks

Here's a HowTo you can use to make sure you download and burn your image to the CD correctly:

Let us know how it goes.

Ok, I tried burning the image once again with nero and it burned just fine. It booted up fine. When I clicked on the installer, here's the exact error I get:

Elive installer stopped running unexpectedly

Error information
an ext code of 1 was returned from sudo eliveinstaller

Output Data

The Old Elive system lists as:

(then to the right it shows)

3 wasted cd's so far...
I don't think I'm burning the image incorrectly, i just follow instructions (burn image>select image>burn at 4x, etc)
I downloaded the image from linuxtracker, twice. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I'm not sure what those errors mean, but it still sounds like maybe a corrupted download or CD to me.

Just curious... did the md5sums check out properly before you burned the image to disk?

[katatonia]

I couldn't check md5sums because after downloading and burning I just erased the .iso. I'll just download it somewhere else, I believe the tracker was corrupt or something corrupted my download. I'll post again once i've gotten a new copy.

Thanks for helping ozar, I guess it's just a matter of time before I can get this to work.
