Testing dists/sid/main/installer-i386/current -> 20031113 1. No documents! The page http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ has a promising link to "The Debian-Installer's INSTALLATION HOWTO". Unfortunately it does not give anything.
2. Guessing name of the first boot diskette was easy. 2. took some time. If first diskette asks for 2. boot floppy, there should be a file bootfloppy2.img (or something like it). Rootfloppy.img would also be good name, but then boot floppy should ask for it. 3. I wanted to install from network. Two boot floppies found network interface from Epox 8K9A71 motherboard. Everything went well until installer wanted to configure CD-drive. Installer refused to believe that there is no CD-drive! I can get debs from local network easier than from CD, so I didn't install a CD drive. I was able to finish installation by selecting next installation step from the menu. After each step installer wanted to configure non existing CD. 4. Keyboard configuration was easy as usual. Unfortunately after first boot Debian had forgotten that I don't have US keyboard. 5. An old problem: I usually make a 'small' root partition. (currently it should be about 150 MB, my first Linux computer had total 80 MB disk space.) This computer had relatively small disk, so I made only / & /usr. I should have made symlinks /var -> /usr/var ... I forget that while trying to configure non existing CD, so I run out of disk space. Tasksel did hide the error message so I had to use old reliable dselect. It told immediately what is the problem. Fix was easy. Perhaps installer could check the size of / and if it is small and not all big partition were made, ask user where /var should be moved (same with /usr, /home, /tmp). Result was working system. Network and sound drivers were found automatically. - Jukka -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
