Hey Mateusz, I usually start my clean install from the all_cd.iso with FDNPKG install kernel, but since you announced the update to FDNPKG, I tried to install FDNPKG first.

Thanks for the more detailed report. Can you confirm please that you get all the "-15" errors using FNDPKG v0.99.3, and not any earlier version? To know the exact version you are using, simply run FDNPKG without any arguments. It will print its version somewhere at the top of the screen. -15 is
