Package: install Version: jigdo download 2003-07-12 (can't install to find out more!)
I want to install Sarge from scratch on a laptop. The laptop has a strange PCMCIA NIC so I have to install without network access. I downloaded (jigdo) the first 5 CD iso images. I have tried installing with CD1 and CD4 but get to the same dead end: All goes well with the install - sensible defaults, good hardware detection, easy way to leave partitions as they are. Unfortunately, when I try to install the base system the installer gives this message: P: 0 100 Downloading Release file I: Retrieving http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/Release E: Failed getting release file http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/Release Debian Installer Main Menu Installing base system into /target/ failed Check /target/var/log/............. for the details. (the logs are empty) It seems I must have the network configured before I can install the base system to get the network configured - catch 22! Asking on the forums the suggestion is: install woody and then dist-upgrade. I can do that but thought you'd like to know about this problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
