Tried an experiment w/your competitor software in trying to load it to a logical drive. It loaded very fast and seemed to work with the current release (They later told me it won't work as theirs only work on USB). But the gui had the same problem. Their manual said "...if you have problems with the gui displaying properly, use Firefox. IE has issues."
Aha!! I wonder!! I tried your software again. Upon loading it, lots of subdirectories were shown (probably the competitor software). So I rebuilt the hardware raid from scratch, dropping logical 1 to 8gb from 12gb, and then loaded your installer.
No subdirectories shown (this never happened). CfDisk showed both logicals as free (this never happened). Selected 8gb logical and installed software, removed CD, and rebooted to run from the harddrive. After assigning the IP, I launched Firefox. Amazing, now the gui works!! I fiddled with it last night; seems to work neat.
So, for initial loading of software:
a) Drives must be re-raided every time one initially loads the software, even if loading the same software. This alleviates rogue files/subdir. Set raid logicals as 1=software logical (8gb), 2=data logical (rest of array).
b) Using CfDisk, make sure the both logicals show no subdirectories; all must show as free. Select logical 1 to load software (I was selecting the specific subdirectory within the logical which may have caused problems).
c) Use Firefox.
If yours didn't work and your competitors has issues, my next step was to try an earlier release of yours/theirs. If that didn't work, then scrap Linux and back to Windows. But yours now came up running. So now I'll be testing a while seeing what this will do; now this is fun!!
