Hi all, it's been a while ago since i posted the error i faced.
I was finally able to install sarge the following way: - normal installation up to the point where i receive the error message: "ERROR: Bad archive mirror" - at that point i can connect via "ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]" - instead of dropping into a shell i selected "download installer components" (or the like, dont't remember the exact words) - a voila: sarge gets installed. So debian is now up and runnig on hercules. I am still thinking about what caused the previous mentioned error. I've checked that hercules is up to date (version 3.02, self-compiled) What is different compared to Frans' description: I used a kernel and initrd as of 18-November 2004. If i can find enough time i will check whether the kernel and initrd from http://raptor.debian.org/d-i/images/daily/tape/ behave different. Am Samstag, 29.

I have also noticed a performance boost with hercules 3.02. �The MIPS Counter reaches values above 38, running hercules on an AMD64/3400. Finally i like to say thank you to Frans, Bastian and Ivan. best regards -- Guenther Bergmann, Am Kreuzacker 10, 63150 Heusenstamm, Germany Guenther_Bergmann at gbergmann dot de http://www.gbergmann.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
