I ftp-downloaded all the RedHat 7.2 IA-64 files from a server and put it on the ftp server in my LAN. I made the bootable floppy on the LS-120 FD media by dd copy of the boot.img file. At first the boot floppy always failed at the NIC recognition saying signal 11, but I did ftped that specific file boot.img from another ftp-site and again wrote it on the FD solved that problem. The second problem is, the ftp install (ftp from LAN) to make default workstation configuration always stops to go beyond at a rpm package "abiword-xxxxx.rpm". I tried three times and always the installer stops there. I wondered why it stops and found that the package was not on the LAN ftp server. I noticed the rpm file is not in the original redhat FTP server's directory also. In stead of making install on the IA-64 system with the default workstation configuration, I made the abiword not selected at the install preparation phase and this time the install went through to the end and I have got the RedHat7.2 boot in success. # It seems the package "abiword" is removed from the distribution set but in the default installation configuration file list it is still to be included. I think, if some file were missing, the RedHat installer instead of waiting it happily forever doing nothing, the installer would beep and cry to tell that rpm file was not and logging were made and it possibly should ask the person if it should still go or not go. The missing file could be skipped with the console message left if it were not fatal. H.M.
