What a crappy distribution. No matter what I do, the installation fucks up somehow. No
matter how many times I try to install LM 7.1 using lnx4win (Linux for Windows), there is
always atleast one or two  packages (and always a different package) that causes an error
during installation. There's errors in perl scripts, like for detecting pcmcia cards.
Can't even use expert mode because there's errors in perl scripts when trying to format
the partition.

Now, this time I get  an error during bootup that it can't find the image file for
initrd!! WTF!! What, did LM just forget to create one during the installation? What image
file is it looking for? linuxsys.img perhaps?

So, if anyone possibly knows what it means when it can't find the image file for initrd,
please let me know a way to fix it.
