"error Linkling" When Installing To Sd
« on: July 28, 2005, 03:38:29 pm »
I just upgraded my SL500 to ver 3.5.3 and now whenever I try to install a package to the SD card I get an error.
Example:

Linking packages installed in: sd
Error linkling
'/media/card/packages/usr/bin/BitchX' to '/usr/bin/BitchX'

This doesn't happen if I install to root, only to the sd card.  I haven't tried installing anything to cf because I have a wirless card there now.

Can someone tell me what I need to do to resolve this. Thanks

Format your SD-card with ext2 so it will support symlinks.

Here are instructions if you need them:
