Hi all,

I recently dl'ed Matt Zimmerman's Debian-3.0r1 image to try out under 
hercules.  My base system is RH 7.3, hercules is 2.16.5.  I initially had 
some trouble with the CTC definitions, but Matt put me right with that over 
on the Hercules-390 list.

In order to use the ftp method for download and configuration, I had to create 
a non-empty /etc/resolv.conf with my ISP's DNS servers specified.

After that, I proceeded to run the Debian configuration from a telnet login, 
and got the following error when I told the configuration to check for 
security updates:

0% [Connecting to 192.168.0.1 (198.168.0.1)]
Err http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages
  Could not connect to 192.168.0.1:3128 (192.168.0.1), connection timed out
...
Failed to fetch
http://security.debian.org/dists/stable/updates/main/binary-s390/Packag
es Could not connect to 192.168.0.1:3128 (192.168.0.1), connection
timed out

There were other errors following, all in the same pattern.  What do I need to 
do to correct this?  Please tell me what config files (from which system, 
base or Debian) you need to see to help me resolve this and I'll send them 
out.

I ignored the timeout errors and continued the configuration process.  Then I 
used tasksel to select a C/C++ development environment, plus tcl and TeX.  
After everything downloaded, configuration proceeded with only a few hitches.  
I got these errors during configuration:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 cxref
 xemacs21-support
 xemacs21-bin
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to configure the
packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors
or errors caused by missing dependencies. This is OK, only the errors
above this message are important. Please fix them and run [I]nstall again
Press enter to continue.

I didn't see any other errors during configuration, but I wasn't looking at it 
the entire 6 hours.  Where do I look up what these errors were so they can be 
corrected?

TIA for any help, info, RTFM, etc. you can provide.

Peter
