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
