This seems to have been due to the way I used Debian Installer, because it doesn't seem to have support for setting mountpoints on existing ext3 partitions. I ended up deleting hda5 and on re-creation it became hda7. So the actual partitions are the right sizes and in the right places on the disc, they are just numbered differently from how I would normally have them - towards the end of the disc I now have hda7 followed by hda5 then hda6. > the only problem was that > the installer kernel didn't recognise either of the ethernet > cards - I have an on-board sk98lin gigabit chipset plus an > old-school PCI RTL8139 card for safety. > They both seem to be recognised by the installed K8 kernel on > reboot, so now it looks like it's manual configuration time. > Should etherconf do the trick? > > Thinks so. Unfortunately there's no etherconf package on the netinst image. I configured ethernet by hand by adding entries to the /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf files, and then base-config was able to continue with the selection of mirror etc. I now have X and Fluxbox installed plus alsa-base, jackd, qjackctl, jamin and hydrogen. The Ardour package seems to be broken for the time being. As for building a multimedia kernel, it would make more sense to do it here using Free's 2.6.10 source package than for Free to cross-compile it on a 32-bit machine. This may take me a while to figure out, but I'll gladly contribute any debs that I can get to run. Cheers! Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
