Hello folks,
I intend to install Dragora onto an old laptop I intend to get soon. Being from 1996, the laptop has no USB ports and only contains a CD-ROM drive.
However, doing some testing in a virtual machine to test the distro for the laptop's hardware revealed a problem. After partitioning the disk, then running the dragora-install program, it prompted me to insert the source media containing the packages. However, I could not normally eject the boot disc from the virtual machine. Even when I forced it to, and then put in the package disc, it didn't work. I kept getting various errors, such as that the program could not find the source for the new disc, or that it had tried to load files on the boot CD that could not be found because it wasn't there.
I also tried this on real hardware using a 2009 netbook, without using the USB ports for the packages, but got the same result.
Am I missing something? Or is there another method of loading the packages that I'm not aware of?
Any possible solutions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Thomas
