After reading and rereading the debian docs, let me cut to the chase: 1. what specifically should be in the hda1 partition? 2. exactly how do you get makedev to build the devices in the /dev directory? 3. exactly where does aboot look for the kernel? 4. Has anyone used jumpstart successfully? == Using the Q jumpstart over the past two weeks or so attempting to load debian, I have found the following: 1. even when I start from scratch, repartitioning the target drive each time, I still run into nit problems. 2. booting once from the CD, you can mount and remount the target partitions on hda at least 5 times. BUT you can not always umount them. this was frustrating, having /mnt/hda1 listed 5 times when I did a mount command. I think this is a jumpstart feature... bob
