I had already make an ext3 filesystem on hda2, but the installer insisted on re-creating a filesystem. BTW, it wasn't obvious to me that I needed to select a partition in order to change its mount point, filesystem type, etc. -- I thought the partition display was for information only. Please add some more documentation on that screen. Next, I selected the latest kernel (2.6.3-something), but it failed when trying to install the corresponding pcmcia-modules package. As a result, I couldn't continue; the only option offered was to reformat and start over, which I didn't want to do. Since all the base packages were already on the system, and apt and dpkg worked, I just did the rest "by hand". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
