Mindi package doesn't work
Last modified: 2005-12-20 09:05:28 UTC
Mindi package doesn't work, possibly because of absent mindi-kernel. However Mindi RPM doesn't require that on installation, it just refuses to run properly and gives the errors like this one: linux:~ # mindi afio not found... mindi doesn't need afio but Mondo does...

Seems that the mindi-kernel package is broken and not on the CD :-(
*** Bug 114722 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The output above shows only that the creation of the floppy disk failed for whatever reason. Does it work for you if you skip the floppy creation and just create an ISO image?
We've created new rpms for mondo and mindi. You can find them on ftp.suse.com/pub/people/lrupp/i386/10.0/suse/ Please test...
Updated package is released via YOU. No answer from customer since latest post _> fixed.
