Dselect with floppy
I've just installed debian (kernel 2.0.29) on an IBM ThinkPad 360 which neither has a CD-ROM nor a network connection (yet). Therefore I wanted to use dselect with the floppy drive (/dev/fd0 - msdos), but when I try to install new *.deb-files I get the following error message: end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 sector 0 mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device Does anybody what's going wrong here?

I assume that /dev/fd0 exists (as you must have installed from them) (2) is the diskette corrupt (3) what does your /etc/fstab look like? -- Jonathan On Tue, 10 Feb 1998, Stefan Palm wrote: I've just installed debian (kernel 2.0.29) on an IBM ThinkPad 360 which neither has a CD-ROM nor a network connection (yet).

TIA Stefan IBM Thinkpads have some kind of weird floppy controller and you need to add floppy=thinkpad to your lilo or loadlin command. At least, that's what people have said...it doesn't seem to help on my 380ED. --Norris -- Norris Preyer (541) 962-3310 (office) Physics Program (541) 962-3873 (fax) Eastern Oregon University [EMAIL PROTECTED] La Grande, OR 97850http://physics.eou.edu/npreyer.html finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP key -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Dselect with floppy
This is the error message that is generated if you try to mount the drive without a floppy in it. The floppy must be in the drive before it is mounted, and should not be removed before it is unmounted.
