Package: installation-reports Version: 20040102 INSTALL REPORT
Debian-installer-version: debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-i386/20040102 Date: 07 Feb 2004 Method: Boot from floppies Boot floppies worked well. I could not continue installation, because I have only ppp (modem) connection to the net. I have all necessary files in the hard-disk (12 GB sarge & woody i386 binaries). But installation program has only ftp & http methods for file access. "Get packages from mounted file system" would be good enough. I guess it would be possible to mount ATA disk from 2. virtual console. I could buy an ADSL line. In 2-3 months it would cost me a price of a new 160 GB disk. If distance to center of the town were 1 km greater I would be out of a ADSL range and fast Internet would cost me more than one 160 GB disk/month. First boot floppy asked for root floppy. INSTALLATION-HOWTO tells that it is floppy-image. It would be better if name were rootfloppy-image. (Why not boot-floppy.image & root-floppy.image?) There seems to be access_drivers-image.img, access-image.img, access-initrd.gz. Perhaps something useful. INSTALLATION-HOWTO does not help. I wish there were INDEX file (fill blanks :) access_drivers-image.img access-image.img access-initrd.gz bootfloppy-image.img 1. boot disk for booting from floppy bootfloppy-initrd.gz cd_drivers-image.img cdrom-image.img cdrom-initrd.gz floppy-image.img 2. boot disk for booting from floppy floppy-initrd.gz hd-media-image.img.gz hd-media-initrd.gz MD5SUMS use for checking download errors netboot-initrd.gz net_drivers-image.img speakup-image.img speakup-initrd.gz vmlinuz Linux kernel for ??? - Jukka -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
