hamm (fresh) install considerations
Hi, I'm considering a fresh hamm install, however I haven't found much information about installing hamm fresh. I presume that bash and libc would be non-issues (at least for installation), but beyond that, what can I expect, in terms of errors -- both quantity and complexity? Also, I've always installed debian with cdrom and this time I want to start with a hard drive install, but I only want to download selected packages, then follow up with ftp. Will dselect panic if many packages in the list of available packages aren't on my hard drive? If so, what's a good way to generate a list of available packages, or is this a bad thing? Are there not any dedicated hamm resources besides the upgrade doc, or am I blind? -- D a v i d S t e r n -- http://weber.u.washington.edu/~kotsya [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

There aren't any hamm install disks yet AFAIK. You have to install bo, then upgrade to hamm.

I think this will work. But remember that upgrading to hamm replaces every package, not just a few, due to the fundamental glibc changes. This means that you end up downloading hundreds of megabytes for large installs. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
