Hi,
I don't know if this is any use for you but I tried to
install Linux ProPack 1.3 on my Dell Laptop using INSTALL installer.
Attached in the file ProPackError.txt are the error
messages produced by the INSTALL installer.
Hardware: Dell Latitude XPi CD
Operating System: RedHat Linux 6.2 (KDE desktop)
Commands used:
(Download ProPack1.3.iso from SGI download area)
root# mount -t iso9660 -o loop ProPack1.3.iso propack
root# cd propack
propack# ./INSTALL
I can select the Language but the installation then
fails right after that.
Yours,
