Following this thread I was moved to download and do a netinstall of Debian - it's been a while since I tried it.
I downloaded the netinstall iso, which came to 30mb, did a checksum and burned the cdrom ok. I then boot installed from it and once I installed the ethernet bridge driver it happily dhcp'ed and went off and got the base package and installed that. So far very smooth. On reboot I get prompted for root pw and useraccount creation but then I got stuck in a loop: - requests setting of clock to GMT, - select timezone and city, - seclect Md5 passwords and - shadow passwords - and then back to setting of clock to GMT. pretty weird. I eventually killed the conf process and can now apt-get and install stuff ok something to do with the fact that I'm running it in a virtual machine perhaps? -=-=-==-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Graeme Robinson - Graenet consulting www.graenet.com - internet solutions -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==---=-=--=-=-= -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
