Subject: [SLU] My experience from installing stormix linux dist.- MindTwist
My experience from installing stormix linux dist.
Software:
A still warm burned copy of Storm Linux 2000
Hardware:
Intel Pentium II 300Mhz
5,2 GB IDE Harddisk
64 MB Sdram
16x IDE CDROM
100Mbit realtek ethernet
10Mbit ethernet
Hercules stingray 3d video card.
Music listened to
while installing:
Sublime - 40 oz to freedom (very relaxing)
Oasis (various)
After searching for a working cd drive i inserted the storm cd
and booted from it. A nice ansi colored logo awaited me. After
the license agreement the hardware detection begins. My cdrom
and mouse were automagically detected. Then you have the choice
between graphical and textmode install. Let's go with the graphics
mode. Voila! i nice GUI appears with a blue storm image on the
background (unfortunatly it reminds me of the thousands of windows
installs). Now a list of deteced devices appear with info about them.
For the 10Mbit card storm loads the ne2k-pci module, but the 100Mbit
is unknown. On to keyboard mapping let's get us a standard qwerty/us
keyboard. Next in line is the X windowing system. The voodoo/rush
graphics card was not deteced automagically :(. From i list i chose
the hercules stingray 3d manually and yes! we have a working X.
Next up: Partitioning, you can select eithter custom or express
partitioning but neither shows a harddisk, and the next/back buttons
stop functioning. Ok, no panic, let's go to the console and look for
fdisk. Only found sfdisk with looked really crappy so i reboot and
used my linuxcare cd which contains fdisk and cfdisk. Partioned it
and rebooted. At started i opened the cdrom drive to place the storm
cd back in and i was nearly decapicitated by the linuxcare that flew
out of mij drive wildly spinning. Ok, so try 2. clickedy click, we're
back at the partitioning menu. It now sees the harddrive and it works.
Formating.... done. Of to the Linux OS Boot manager config, click.
Added the drive to boot from. ClickedyClick, network config. Setup
the 10Mbit card to work in my local network. Next in line is Package
selection. A bummer, very little packages to choose from now. Chose
them all except the x development section. Now you can choose between
the KDE and GNOME evniroment. Let's choose KDE because the guy this pc
is for is a linux newbie. *krrrk* files are being copied and installed
nice graphical bars that show the status. Done. The big reboot awaits.
Wow, a graphical boot loader and boot screen. Cool! It works. First of
i installed joe and bitchx (i dont know why the guys at storm took epic4
and vi). X worked and kde is very windows like, ace of penguins is just
as addictive as patience :). The SAS util is also very nice. I noticed
that apt get uses the stormix ftp for it's packages and some packages
such as w3m aren't available there. Too bad, but you can download them
elsewhere.
Overall:
An easy to setup distribution, but can be very hard to newbies
when
they are faced with problems with partitiong like i had.
A nice step foward in user friendly enviroment development,
i'm looking forward too seeing how storm will evolve.
