Disc #1 initial release and Release 1. The install of "woody" on the laptop goes fairly smoothly, until the point of the installing of base system (?) it prompts the user either "automatic" or "manual" configuration? I picked "automatic", it goes through and installs the various packages. However, if finds a problem with "iptables" say it is corrupt and then aborts the install. The same problem occurs with "disc 2" as well.
There appears to be no way to get re-prompted for a "manual". I have installed "woody" on another older system with no problems. I downloaded a newer version of the iso and got the same results. Eventually, I was forced to use RedHat Linux 8.0. which installed with no problems. So the machine is capable of running Linux. I would perfer to run Debian, but I don't have a lot of time to devote to working around the install. It would be nice if there was someway of working around the problem. I copy the package from another source and continue, etc. Thanks. From Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
