tags 247993 -moreinfo thanks Hi,
I finally found the right cable to try again, and I had similar, if somewhat different problems. I downloaded http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/sparc/current/sarge-sparc-netinst.iso, bearing timestamp 2005-03-14 00:28. As far as I understand, it gives me the 20050313 version. I did a completely fresh install. Everything went well until after partitioning/formatting, the "install base system" stage. I had successfully (manually, not DHCP) configured the network and the system has successfully gotten the hostname and domain from a reverse DNS on the IP. The install system is operating in "low memory mode". At the "install base system" stage, the system said "Cannot figure out how to install Debian: No install CD found and no mirror configured". Well, it didn't give me any opportunity to choose a mirror, and I don't see one in the menu I get dumped to. Re-running the "detect CD" stage unstuck the thing; it then recognised the CD as containing a base and the "install base system" stage is currently on its way. (Now that I have found back the right cables, I'll be much more responsive to try out new d-i snapshots if useful.) -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
