Hi, my friends.
I´m a new user to Debian. I have been
traing to install several times your "vanilla" flavor of debian in to my
cumputer.
I partitioned my harddisk with
MS-DOS "fdisk" command, and no I got one primary partition of about 1.5GB and
another partition of about 1.5GB too, it seems to me that I wrote the second one
as extended.
The problem is I havent been able to
install Debian in one of those partitions, I am running Windows on one partition
and want to stick with it at the same time.
When I boot my computer with (F8) in to
MS-DOS, I call my drive D:\Debian\vanilla\install.exe, so the installation stops
and asks me the direction of my kernel image.
I have already downloaded the files as
follows:
D:\Debian\vanilla\base2_2.tgz
D:\Debian\vanilla\drivers.tgz
D:\Debian\vanilla\install.exe
D:\Debian\vanilla\linux.txt (i think this
is the file not found)
D:\Debian\vanilla\dosutils\loadlin
D:\Debian\vanilla\images-1.44\driver-1.bin
D:\Debian\vanilla\images-1.44\rescue.bin
D:\Debian\vanilla\images-1.44\root.bin
My machine is AMD-586, 54MB RAM, 3GB
(actually partitioned). I would really like to install Debian and get to work
this system so if you could give any sugestion, it will be a lot of help. I dont
like to be stick with Windows any more.
By the way if you have any documentation
on programming (basic programming) on LINUX, I would really apreciate
it.
*Note: I downloaded the files without
going in to any folder of any other flavor, I asumed that the first files to
appear were "vanilla".
Thanks,
Atila
