Congratulations, You've just won the price for the the weirdest title of a mail on this list... - Ubuntu, although derived from Debian, has nothing to de with this list. - Ubuntu certainly has nothing to do with Woody as it's based on sid. We'll just assume that you're installing Woody. The number of CD's is consistent with that at least ;-) On Tuesday 12 April 2005 23:19, finjurdata wrote: > I bought debian on a total of 5 cd's and the problem is on my poweredge > dell sc 1420 it is on my 2nd harddrive that i want to install it and > only the rescue cd works when installing it runs smoothly but as soon > as I take out the cd and reboot it starts up and at the system clock it > hangs.

I'm afraid that Woody is probably not a very good choice given your hardware as it's kernel and installer are quite ancient now and do not support modern hardware, certainly not SATA. A better choice would be the new installer [1] for Sarge (that now looks to be really getting close to being released). The RTC (real time clock) issue is a known issue [2] for Dells (although it's new to me that Woody is also affected) and has a workaround [3] for use with the new installer.
