[izpack-users] Linux platform installation problem

[Joseph.Fiedler at l-3com.com]

I have encountered a problem when using izpack for multiplatform
installations.  My installation file contains 5 packs; 3 of the 5 packs
are platform independent.  However, the first 2 packs are nearly
identical; they differ due to small support scripts for windows and
linux installations.  On windows platforms the installation performs as
expected and consistently takes 3-5 minutes; on Linux platforms the
installation takes 90 - 120 minutes.  I've isolated the problem to the 2
'similar' packs; if I remove the windows pack and run the installer on
linux (RedHat Enterprise Server 4.0) it will run the expected 3-5
minutes.

 

I've attached the 'bare' bones for the packs in question.
