[Vectorlinux-devel] VL 6.0 Light installer stuck

[Vanger <fa...@gm...>]

Hi,

We do have strange things reported from 6.0 light installer.

Excerpts from chat log:

<su77> Stuck at Optional Partitions
<su77> Pretty sure I allocated / and swap, but then get to optional  
partitions. I do not want to allocate any other ones, so I just hit enter.  
screen refreshes and nothing happens

<su77> at figure 11
<su77> Old thinkpad, came with Win Me.
<su77> Anything I am doing seriously wrong with install? Pretty sure  
allocated / and swap
<Vanger> Win ME - well, then your laptop is somtheing like P3
<Vanger> It'll handle both Std and Light ok
<Vanger> Try selecting some partition as /mnt/win
<su77> That is a problem. With one free partition, it says "no more  
partitions available". Should I make another one just for the heck of it?
<su77> Tried to point /home to a spare partition already. Tried many  
things. Also tried manually pointing all optional to root.
<Vanger> So you do have two partitons on hdd, / and swap, right?
<Vanger> How big is your hdd, btw?
<su77> 5GB. 4GB root, 500MB swap, 500MB spare.
<Vanger> Yes, there is no sense in making separate /home partition
<Vanger> Spare means "unallocated"?
<su77> linux partition there. I can put /home there. But /mnt/win gives a  
warning.
<Vanger> Try putting /home there, please
<Vanger> Don't continue the installation if you succeed
<su77> Same thing.

Also, on  
https://vector.ecosq.com/ic/HowTos/HowToBook/ChapGetStarted/guiInstallation  
page there is text-mode installation.
