I'm using Red Hat 6.2. My system currently uses either Gnome or IceWM.
My current objective is to replace both with Helix GNOME. win95 and
Linux coexists within a 6.2GiG hard drive. The distribution of hd space
is as follows:
windows hda1 2047 MB
/ hda5 101 MB
/usr hda6 2180 MB
/home hda7 1458 MB
/var hda8 203 MB
/tmp hda9 101 MB
swap hda10 101 MB
The Quick installation instructions provided with the two cd Helix GNOME
that I followed are as follows:
- su
- mkdir /helix-cdrom
- mount /dev/cdrom -t iso9660 /helix-cdrom
- cd /helix-cdrom
- ./go-gnome
The process works up to a point. The process attempts to download the
installation file into tmp. tmp in my file system has only 101 MB but
the installation file is 109 MB. The error message states to use the
flag -d to redirect the use of tmp to another. In my setup that would
be /usr (2 Gig's).
My question is with what do I use the flag -d in order to redirect the
process to /usr?
Secondly as the process continues until it stops because of the above
the message "unable to locate ... in path: libpixmap.so" is displayed
many times. Performing a find I locate the file in question at
/usr/lib/gth/themes/engines/libpixmap.so What does this mean. Should I
change path to reflect this locatio?
When I logged out and before the closing process starts displaying its
results, the message "Never use GTKTED" was displayed many times. What
is this?
I believe all these problems will be solved as soon as I redirect the
process to /usr.
