I am still having trouble installing Chimaera. The netinstall iso
doesn't work. I tried the server iso and it gives the same error.

So this error was reported two years ago and I am the only one to have
trouble with it? The above command will fix it? What directory am I
supposed to be in to execute it?

Best regards,
Fred
