Hi all, Well, I'm new to debian and this list, but have a problem already:-). Just flame me (in a friendly way, please) if this is not the right venue for this kind of problem.
Anyway, the story goes like this. I'm setting up Slink in my machine, and have had some problems, most of them connected to me not having RTFM, so I'm not gonna complain any:-) I got the installation going up to the point that I had installed the base system and had rebooted the machine and up comes dselect. That's where the real problems started. I put in the 2nd cd (as explained in the install guide) and dselect seemed to find the packages, but then complained about some missing perl-script and suggested I'd put cd nr. 1 in the drive. Put whatever I tried I couldn't get through this level without an error message and couldn't install anything. I finally decided to reboot to windows and go through the manuals to see if I'd find any clues. But then sh*t really hits the fan. The cdrom-drive seems to be unaccessible. This seems to be a problem in the bios, because I can't even boot with the cdrom-drive, and linux can't even find it. Does anyone have any clue about what mey have happened and what I can do to solve it? Yes, the drive IS hooked up and I can still play audio-cd's with it, so it doesn't seem to have damaged any. Hope someone can help. Gudmundur Tech. details: Pentium PC, MMX, 32. mb, two harddisks, each about 2.5 Gb. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
