There's supposed to be some program, byebye windows or some such, for installing a Linux. I've one such on the net, but I have no idea how up-to-date it is. IN any case, it completely fails to achieve contact with any of the Debian repository sites.
Does anyone know which versions of this program, from which sites, actually work? For all I know the one I've got is years out-of-date and is using some kind of obsolete protocol or crypto keys or some such. I'm trying to install testing, by the way. I'm willing to install stable and upgrade. Failing the easy way, I'll be burning some installation CDs. By the way, from another machine on the LAN, I can ping the machine I'm installing on, and from that other machine, I can also ping the repositories, several of them. SO there is some basic level of connectivity. What's more, when the machine I'm installing on runs Windows, it can access anything on the net. And I've tried specifying the repositories my other Debian machines use to do regular updates. And yes, those machines are willing to update, so there's probably no trouble with the repositories. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
