I have been going through the installer and (overall) am very pleased with it. I do have a couple of questions:
aptitude will get stuck at "insert SARGE disk" when using it for a source (after apt-setup has scanned the cdrom). any workaround for this? md5's show the cdrom to be good. once completed i didn't have fstab and mtab entries for the cdrom and floppy. is this common? also i am doing a netinst using a PPP conection, so i am opening another terminal and using pppconfig to connect (or trying, haven't got it working yet) to the internet so i can update my apt sources. i can activate the modem (pon connection) but after that nothing (it attempts to connect and hangs. no modem usage. poff doesn't work/have to cd into /usr/sbin/ to use it) anyone have luck with this approach? maybe suggest a better way? Quick specs: Gigabyte mobo Athlon 1800 128mb ram external modem (known to work in linux) generic cdrom partitioning worked very well by the way. again, installer is looking good. thanks, preston
