Decided to try out the latest test version. Live mode fine but can not install yet.
Downloaded Point Linux 64bit 3.0b3, copied to usb disk using unetbootin and booted into live mode. Double clicking on the icon "Install Point Linux" and nothing happens.
Managed to get an error message only by opening terminal, sudo su, cd /usr/bin & ./pointlinux-installer, as follows:
- Code: Select all
Traceback (most recent call last):

Some problem with identifying disks?? I don't know for sure. Might be a problem with my usb disk perhaps? I am running on a Lenovo T420 with the DVD drive replaced with a bay containing a second HDD. Could that be a problem? Might try another usb disk and dd'ing the iso direct to the drive instead of using unetbootin.
Just thought I'd bring this to the developers attention in case anyone else has the same issues but I'll start trying to find a way to make it work and get back to you.
I'm new to Point and it seems great. Just what I was looking for. Thanks all.
