Magic error!

[brokecollegekid84]

When I try to run the magic update i get this error message "---------/root/patches: /root/patches: No such file or directory." Does anyone know what causes this and how to remedy this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All
Don’t want open another topic as I have exactly the same problem with MAGIC.
Install Home edition on FOCUS box via FTP. Runs without visible problems - screen is distorted. Connected through SSH and at first it complains about TERM not set, but it was set to dumb by default. I set it to screen and now it’s look fine. Run firstboot – no problems, no changes.
Now I’m trying to run magic as root. After welcome screen it’s thinking for a couple of minutes and come up with exact same error:
/root/patches: /root/patches: No such file or directory

Please HELP!!!

Downloading magic [server test] failed, please try again later.

In my case network wasn’t set-up properly.
As soon as I put correct DNS in everything goes smoothly – see network tutorial. Thanks to ShALLaX.
It took about 12 hr for magic to complete update.
