Re: New Alpharelease - Narrowing down Installation errors, Fixing Mime

Hi.
After install:
grub-mkconfig
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted??).


ln-s /M/GoboLinux/S/K/D /dev

Won't fix it.

[reboot]

mount --bin /M/Gobolinux /

grub-mkconfig
zsh: command not found: grub-mkconfig
The program 'grub' is not currently installed.
[...]

SP grub

grub-mkconfig
/S/L/E/grub-mkconfig: line 49: /usr/share/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib: no such
file or direcotry

ls /usr/share/grub/
ls: cannot access [...] No such file or directory.

I should really work out starting sshd on that livecd - using vnc over a
386KB/s mobile connection is not too much fun :/
I will look further into it tomorrow or next week :)

---MIME---
update-mime-database /usr/share/mime is enough, one does not have to
recompile a thing.
Executing it right before the xserver results in nice icons :)
The Files in /usr/share/mime are set to ../../../P/...
That does not look too good; they should be set to /P/... by default.
