Some guidance to save you from trouble with the installation…<\/p>\n
1.) You have to use TWO cdrom’s: The one from SONY (this fucked up thing with the PCMCIA-Card) and a normal USB-CDROM<\/p>\n
2.) Boot Install CD 1 with the SONY-CDROM<\/p>\n
3.) When the installation complains that the Install-Medium wasn’t found remove the CD from the SONY and put it in the USB-CDROM<\/p>\n
4.) When you are in the Anaconda Installer hit CTRL-ALT-F2 to get a console<\/p>\n
5.) change i686 to i586 in \/etc\/rpm\/platform (otherwise the installation fails with: “incorrect arch” during package installation<\/p>\n
6.) Continue as normal…<\/p>\n
7.) Firstboot hangs at the License-Agreement. Before it hangs (at the welcome screen) restart the X server (with CTRL-ALT-Backspace) to get a prompt and uninstall firstboot \/rpm -e firstboot)<\/p>\n
8.) Add a user manually with “useradd sysop; passwd sysop”<\/p>\n
9.) remove the RedHatGraphicalBoot “rpm -e rhgb”<\/p>\n
10.) continue as normal…<\/p>\n
