When I install suse 9.2 from ftp, the windows show this message when the
package are load from de ftp site:
"La instalacion del paquete glibc-locale-2.3.3-118.i586 ha fallado"

And in the details windows show thsi message:

ERROR(InstTarget:E_RpmDB_subprocess_failed)
---
-?-


I have 3 options: cancel, retry or ignor. I only can't push ignor because
cancel cancle the instalatcion and retry show the same message.
If I push Ignor, then the next package show this message:
"El paquete ziptool-1.3.0-108.i586 no ha sido hallado en el medio"
And in the details windows show thsi message:

Err:11294:ERROR(Media:unable to write file)

All the next package show the same error.

Any idea?

Well, tough. Install it later.

So?

Ignore.

Tough. Install it later. Or do it yourself in a parallel session.

What about? What's your problem? That you don't know how to install the
packages yourself? That you don't know how to look in the CD to check
they are there? That you don't know how to check the CD to see if you
burned it properly? That you don't know how to check to see if yur
cdrom has cabling problems, or if there are other hardware problems?

Which is it? Please be specific! One can't tell you everything in the
universe!

Oh - one would suspect that your disk is not writable. Too small,
perhaps?

He's installing from an ftp.

If he knew what the problem is he wouldn't be posting here.

Is the first package or some other packages are successfully
installed before?

Check that you are installing as root, and as Peter said
check that you have enough space in your hard drive and
that it's writable.

The glibc packages are required for almost any package in the
system, so maybe if you can't install properly the glibc packages
you can't install the next packages.

Ignore Breuer. You'll get more work done, and stop gratifying his
***teeeny*** little ego by listening to him berate newbies who are often
more correct than him with his alleged expertise.

A lot of FTP sites for SuSE tend to be overloaded. I've found HTTP to be
faster and more reliable, especially if you aren't using a local
well-supported FTP mirror.

Has the installation failed twice at exactly the same package? If so, I've
also seen similar behavior when I've had some bad memory or bad disk and the
process of installing packages was reaching roughly the same place on disk
or loading up all that information in RAMdisk hit the same bad patch.

It looks like he is a new user, and likely has never seen anything but
Windows before, so he didn't know how to frame his question efficiently.
There may have been better ways to answer him.

Linus Torvalds is quoted as saying that the destruction of Microsoft may be
a by-product of Linux. That is very unlikely to happen if innocent, even
naive, questions like the above are answered in the patronizing tone you
have adopted. The great and unfortunate commercial success of Windows is due
to, besides the brutal marketting tactics, the fact that the user needs to
know or understand almost nothing; it may take him a while to adapt to the
radically different philosophy of Linux -- though he may never need or want
to become an expert, or dedicate nearly as much time to studying Linux as
you did. On the other hand, if you want to maintain Linux as the
quintessential insider's operating system based on esoteric magic
incantations known only to the cognoscenti, then keep up the good work; and
keep score to see how many others you can repel.

All those who believe that the best physicians in France, given two weeks,
can't diagnose what ails a patient - please stand up.

The installation procedure was in ftp model. And from ftp.suse.com

I use the same installation mode from another ftp site, and the installation
process stop in the same package and with the same error.

I have a HP-Compaq nx9030 and is the "standard" installation. All the
Windows partition are deleted and the suse installation procedure create a
swap partition and the / partition with the spaces "by default".

Prior to send the error message to the forum, I would install the Suse with
a selection of packages, with my partition, with my configuration, ... But
it fault. Then I run the installation and only define my IP, mask, gatewaey
and IP of the ftp.suse.com site. The other selections are the default
predefined with the suse installation.

And I repeat, the ftp site is ftp.suse.com

Looks like he did an ftp install anyway, and so "cannot write to disk"
appears to be his major problem.

He alone can see what he is doing - I can't. It's his circumstances
that need investigating, and I can't do it for him! Who knows what he
has done! Possibly he is trying to install to a partition that is way
too small (the /boot partition, the swap partition)? Perhaps his disk
has errored and the FS has gone into read-only mode as a precaution?

This lack of capacity to see over his shoulder from here ought to be
obvious to him! He can't possibly expect us to guess which of the
infinitely many crazy things that could go wrong has gone wrong, and
even if we guess, we need him to confirm, so he needs to work.

But he's done well! He recorded the messages! Solid data! Now he
needs to get out and about and investigate what is going on. Just like
I would if I were there.

As to this horrible "any idea" phrase, yes, I have an idea - that he
shift his backside and look around his machine a bit, and see if he can
see what's stopping him writing on the hard disk. *I* *can't* *see*
*from* *here*, and I don't see either why he should expect me to.

Is the disk full, for example? That is what I would wonder. And were
there any kernel mesages?

Nope, the soul reason for the success are mafia OEM contracts,
like this thread show nicely. Would the OP have gotten his system
perfectly pre-installed with Linux he'd have zero problems like
he's facing now.

The problem, none of those people with problems installing Linux
has ever installed M$ from scratch or they'd know it's not that
easy as you claim.
