Re: Sean, I need help,configuring dhcp
Hi Jim,
Whoever told I was a guru was lying ;-)
If I was you, and if nobody has any more useful advice, I would try
downloading the full Sarge CDs, instead of the net install. I think you only
need the first 2.
Anyone else got a better idea for this guy to get Debian installed?
BTW Jim, you may want to prepare yourself for a bit of a haul. Once you get
Debian installed, you'll still have to wrestle with X, and your mouse, and
sound, etc. One step at a time -- so be patient! It'll be worth it in the
end.
Finally, an unrelated tip: If I remember right, the installer will ask you to
select which packages you want to install using dpkg and something else --
don't bother with them except for apt-get. Once you're done, you can just
apt-get whatever you want.
