Hi, I'm a medium level LINUX user with little programing experience trying to install Woody on a Mac Centris 650. I've previously had Slink installed on this same machine but haven't played with it in several years. Now I thought I'd try Woody
My problem is rather strange. I'v partitioned the disk several times with different applications in the same manner that I did when installing Slink. The problem is that the installer won't recognize any of my partitions as either Swap, or Linux partitions. More strange is that now the installer on the Slink disk ALSO refuses to see the partitions, no matter what method I use to partition the disk. Worse, when I first tried to install Woody, it DID recognize the partitions, but wouldn't mount the install CD when it cam time to install the base system. Since then I've tried several different applications to re-format the hard drive (a 1.2gb IBM) and partition to specs, and downloaded a second copy of the Woody install CD. Now it has the partition issue. Is this an installer problem? Or possibly is my hard drive and/or CD drive not supported? Why will Slink not install anymore? Note that I have two Debian Woody install CDs, one an "Official" CD received by mail, and a second downloaded and burned. Both exhibit the same behavior- though oddly they are organized slightly differently. Dose anybody have any ideas? I'm not too handy with mac-fdisk either, so if anybody has a link to a good step-by-step primer for it I would appreciate it. As always, thanks in advance and retreat. Douglas. p.s. I'm using the 2.2.25 Kernel and the Penguin 19 booter. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com
