dselect

[Jesús Antonio Santgos Giraldo]

Hey every one... Happy new year... (467 mails on my account...)

And of course a question:   ;)

I´m trying to install debian on my computer, and all went well, but...

( It must be a but always... isn´t it? )


IN a little confused with the dselect program... I know is one of the
cool things about debian, and is very versatil...
But I didn´t  figure it out how to use it, so i install ALL THE SYSTEM

After the installation the configuration phase began and a lot of 
questions (well, not a lot...) where asked... but I dont know all the
answers... :)

The fact is the system installs well, includinf LILO (pretty cool 
utility), but to many thing dont work, for example vi dont work...
neither ae (an editor...). I nightmare
The system was mounted ok, but it´s very misconfigured...

blah,blah-

WELL THE QUESTION IS:

what is the minimun packages I must to intall to begin...
and when I be more confortable with the system I try to install the 
rest.

And a little help to deal with dselect would be very appreciated...

can´t use FIPS on windows 95

[Jesús Antonio Santgos Giraldo]

Hiya all!

I´m new to the list, and of course I have some questions.

1) There is no UMSDOS for debian isn´t it?

2) I bought my computer and it comes preinstalled with windows 95, so
   all of the hard disk is in one single partion.
   Reading the files that come with the debian distribution I read that
   I could use fips, but unfortunatly when I run it it stops with an 
error:
   that the partiosn is OBh or something...
   I suposse, as I read further, fips only can do partitions on msdos 
file
   systems, and I have a pure windows 95 FAT32...

   So the question is:

   How can I shrink my only one partition ! even if it is a windows 95 
one.

 

Tnx for the answers you could gave me.
