Yes, but the problem is that the partition is /dev/hdd, not /dev/hdd1.
Sounds to me like a mistake was made when the filesystem was created

I've installed Debian many times, but this time I'm having an issue.
I've got Windows XP on /dev/hda1, and I have a pre-existing ext3 volume
with data I need on /dev/hdd. But I can't figure out a way to get the
installer to use /dev/hdd as the installation volume. What's the best
way to do

I see no need to partition a drive if I'm going to have only one partition
on it, so I just use the entire drive as a volume. It's really quite
normal. Just mke2fs -j /dev/hdd and it's ready

I apologize for pestering everyone, but I really don't want to
abandon Debian for something this simple after having used it for so long.
My ISP requires registration of a MAC address through an HTML
interface, which I do in Windows XP. They also require initializing
the network with DHCP.

AFAIR, there is then an option to supply nameservers manually. I had
to do this when I was using a particular ADSL modem/router-in-a-box

I've actually managed to track down this problem. Somehow, for some

I've been using Debian for half a decade, but not within the past
year or so and just got back to it recently. My current setup is an
XP box with masquerading (ICS) and 3.1r5 installed on another box,
configured with static IP. Works great.
Now I'm trying to set up a dual-boot on the main box
Out of sheerest curiosity, since I'm not having any problems with woody beyond
the X/gpm mouse grabbing and X-fb corruption, is there a way to downgrade from
woody to potato, from woody to slink, and from potato to slink? I would assume a
forced apt-get dist-upgrade with appropriate lines in
And for another thing, I looked at ftp.debian.org and the
disks-i386 directory for woody is empty. What then is the upgrade

I was under the impression, due to the numberous and strong warnings
