(Actually, I mean the version that is included in hamm base disks. I'm
nearly sure, that this is the correct version).
Hi,
the installation program doesn't allow to mount FAT32 (Win95/98) partitions
(or doesn't let it be specified as source of the base disks), although the
included kernel 2.0.34 contains FAT32 support.
If this is intented behaviour, it should be documented. If not, it should
be corrected.
Please keep reading, although the following might be considered as another
bug because it is not related to the above. And, unfortunately, I can't
recall exactly what I did.
I installed hamm's base twice on the same harddisk with the same partitions.
The first time I entered a root password, but I didn't install anything
with dselect.
The second time I chose to not initialize the partitions, but to reinstall
the kernel and the base system. After rebooting I'm asked again for a new
root password, but nothing worked (not a new password and not an old pass-
word). This password asking dialog couldn't be killed from the second
terminal (more exactly, it always restarted).
HTH,
Ulf
