Comments/Problems:
I tried to install over the serial - modem line. After 9 hours (!) of
mousing arround and getting
more and more slower, the installer said: " This could lead to an
unbootable system"
and then "Password 2 times wrong". - then I aborted.
> This System has no screen and no DVD, so I think it is a good idea to install
CD #1 over a simple 9600-Modem line but the installer has to many
screen-codes.
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
I think the user-friendlyness has its limits. Is there anybody who really wants
a "save", "friendly" and "guided" installation process to install Debian on an
enterprise - server?
Thanks for providing Debian-Sparc
