Hey all .. I finally took the plunge and tried to install linux on my lc575 .. thanks to Craig Falconer I now have a use for the machine .. thanks Craig
anyway .. I'm installing debian 3.0 ... and it does a reasonable job .. but it clags out trying to do this chroot /target --force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/archives/debconf_1.0.32_all.deb I think this is when its trying to write debootstrap .. cos that exits with an error (return value 1) the machine will boot to the point where its asking for the next run level .. ie there is no inittab anyone have any clues as to where to from there?? I am 1. new to macs and 2. new to debian by the way this is being installed on a second scsi drive .. via a network there is a "rescue" image which I could load if that would help looking for pointers in the right direction. thanks in advance Paul
