installation : no *.dat file on the disc
Posted: Tue Sep 09, 2008 5:46 pm
Hi
I bought about a year ago a French windows version of Darwinia because yes, I'm French. I got a CD-ROM which worked well. Now times have changed and I run undex Linux Ubuntu Hardy Heron.
So I followed the explanation for installing Darwinia on Linux. I got the patch and the CD. I put the CD in when I'm kindly asked to but then it keeps printing the same message : "Mount Darwinia CD. Choose Yes to start again or No to cancel." (I translated this). Clicking Yes makes this message appear again. No cancels the installation.
I searched through the forum and discovered that if the dat files were copied from the disc to the dawinia/lib directory, it should work.
Problem is ; I have no dat files on my disc. Here"s the list of what's on the disc :
AUTORUN.INF data1.hdr data3.cab data5.cab ikernel.ex_ Setup.exe setup.inx data1.cab data2.cab data4.cab data6.cab layout.bin Setup.ini
I tried to copy the cab and hdr files to the darwinia/lib directory then changes the cab extension into dat. But it didn't work.
How can I proceed with the installation ?
Here are information on the disc. It seems to be distributed by SDLL (Société de distribution de logiciels de loisir) part of Micro Application. The CD name that appears once it is mounte tried to changed is 9800SD.
Thanks a lot !!!

PS : I hope this has nothing to do with the fact to you, Britons, don"t like the French frogs
