Just downloaded the latest wrap version 5.0.2
Burned it to cd, rebooted computer with CF card inserted.

Installation detects CF card correctly, and starts installing :
* Installing ATA device /dev/sda
- create partitions /dev/sda OK
- create journaling file system OK
* Installing base distribution in /dev/sda1 OK
* Installing bootloader
[sh: ~]#

When it starts installing the base system it is done immediatly and the [sh: ] prompt appears

I checked the install.log in /root and it says:
INFO: mounting /dev/sda1 /mnt/sysimage
INFO: installing distro image /cdrom/setupdir/base/minibox-wrap.iml to /mnt/sysimage
gzip: stdin: input/output error
tar: unexpected EOF
tar: unexpected EOF
tar: Error is not recoverable

Any thoughts ?

Hi,

We tested the released iso and it works without any problems. Something must went wrong on your side. I suggest verifying 2 things:
1. md5 sum, make sure that during transfer ISO image was not corrupted
Md5sum can be find here
2. Try burning on another CD or using a different CDROM unit for install.

- MD5 checksum is correct
- Burned it on a different media cd+r instead of cd+rw
- same result.

I use the cd to boot my amd64 pc and to install this on a cfcard.
I presume this should be possible or is the cd only good for booting on the wrap board itself and making the cf ?

Will do some more testing tomorrow.

Well the iml file is not corrupt.
I extracted the minibox-wrap.iml from the branded disk under windows, and extracted it without problems.
Seems when booted with the CD the tar command experiences some problems.

I you have a suggestion.... otherwise I will boot from the cd and figure out from the perl installer what to do and
do it manually.
