Hi all, I shelled out good money (Swedish) to purchase the official 2.0 distribution from Linuxpress. However, as soon as I mounted the CD to begin the upgrade, strange things appeared when I did this:
[root]:~# mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /cdrom mount: block device /dev/hdb is write-protected, mounting read-only [root]:~# ls -l /cdrom/ total 14 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 263 Jul 24 04:14 <translation table> -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2596 Jul 24 04:14 README dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Jul 24 04:14 boot dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Jul 24 04:13 debian dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Jul 24 04:14 install dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Jul 24 04:14 tools dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Jul 17 17:33 upgrade [root]:~# The permissions are whacked! And the file README is a symlink to something, yet it appears to be an executable. All symlinks had this "feature", making upgrading a potential disaster. The source CD had the same problem, but the Extras CD was OK. I've compiled the kernel with FAT32 support, but the CD should be Rock Ridge. I tried mounting it without the RR support (mount -t iso9660 -o norock) but it didn't change anything. Has anyone had the same problem? I tried searching the archives, the websites for Debian and Linuxpress, and Dejanews, but couldn't find anything. TIA, /g. P.S. If any cruft is attached to this message, blame Lotus Notes -- I'm posting from work.
