Machine: Dell server, older generation Processor: Memory: 1G Partitions: see below Output of lspci -nn and lspci -vnn: Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Clock/timezone setup: [ ] User/password setup: [ ] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Overall install: [ ] Comments/Problems: This is not a bug in the software, but a confusing behaviour. In the main menu, detect disks leads to partitioning disks. http://raneb.openlib.org/~krichel/f1.jpg I don't want to change partitioning. I don't want to format anything. In fact, I am only installing the system to fix some errors in the C library locations. I just want to make /dev/hda1 to be the root file system. If I select IDE1, I get http://raneb.openlib.org/~krichel/f2.jpg and on yes http://raneb.openlib.org/~krichel/f3.jpg which I don't want. I have forgetten what happened when selecting "no", but it not lead to joy either. I am working on this sittnig in Australia and the machine is being handled by my friends in NYC. If I proceed to "Finish partitioning", I am getting http://raneb.openlib.org/~krichel/f5.jpg It would be useful to have an item "mount already existing file system" as earlier versions of the installer had. I think the current "help on partitioning" is rather vague. If you send me the text, I can try to improve. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
