I am a first time installer of Debian
Linux 2.0 with Win 98 on the computer.
What to I enter when on the installation program so I can get Emacs, X etc.
when installing from the Binary i386 CD I read:
Insert the CD Rom with the block device name: I enter: /dev/hda3, (have tried /dev/hda4 & /dev/hda5 with similar results) I get: Wrong FS type bad option and super block ON /dev/hda3 The preceding install went fine. I do have a rudimentary Linux system with at least VI.... I have Win98 on partition 1 and data on extended partition 2. Extended partition 3 was adjusted during installation to 1,900 Mb Linux (native) and a 190 Mb swap pertition by the Linux install. How to I look at the Linux partitions and adjust/delete them to start clean again (if that is needed)? I am using a Pentium 2, 300 MHz, 64 Mb ram, 6.4 Gb HD and an IDE CD-Rom on the secondary (primary) IDE port. Again, What to I enter when on program installation I read: Insert the CD Rom with the block device name: TIA Bob Barth olympic@netamerica.com |
