Hi Reinhard,

ok

here's the first report:

scenario:

- Windows Vista Buissenes
- Ubuntu 6.06 LTS as fileserver
- mapping U:\ to /usr/local/
- installing into U:\texlive

file-rights are set properly on the server-share (testet)

First of all my plan to install both binaries failed, because win32 is
checked and the boxes are greyed-out
(you my look at the screenshot:

The installation is very slow. And I mean very very ...

I startet at 14:14 and it is not yet finished :-(

At least, it remained nearly 2h at installing catalogue ...

I coukd not figure out, there the reasons could be,

I checked:

- CPU load (unde 10%)
- network traffic (nearly idle)

I transferred a 20 MB file from the Vista-PC to /usr/local/texlive/ in a
few seconds ...

any ideas?

is xcopy invoked by texlive-setup? its idle too ...

hope installation will finsih until tomorrow ...

Andreas
