Booted mutlicore iso with 'mci'.
Ran tc-install.sh and selected c for[C]drom.
Get:
Could not find system file(s): boot directory.

My CD drive is hde.
I tried with and without mounting it first.

roberts:
Seems to be a old bug in console (interactive version) of tc-install.sh. If you look at where I store the cdroms, in /etc/sysconfig/cdroms, likely your hde entry has an extra space at the end. Removing that space and rerun the program should make it proceed. I will look into why the extra space.

Thanks for testing and reporting.

gerald_clark:
Correct on the space.

I chose Frugal install and get:
The following extension(s) are required: syslinux

which syslinux
/usr/local/bin/syslinux

There is nothing in /usr/local/tce.installed/

Apparently, the starter packs don't update tce.installed/ with the included modules.

roberts:
That test is no longer valid as the installation program is only available with the starter pack. I thought I had removed it.

gz's load into ram as part of the base OS and therefore do not update tce.installed, or other tce  specific extension based files.
