Here's what I did;
- Re-started machine and went through setup procedure (mounting swap and linux partitions)
- switch to new console window and
mount -t affs /dev/sdb1 /mnt
cd /mnt/linux
cp *.bin /target
ls -la /target (to make sure they're there and the right size etc
- go back to install screen and select "Install OS Kernel and Modules"
- select "mounted : already mounted filesystem"
- enter /target as the location of the debian archive
- then i sit at a blank install screen (all blue bar the Debian title and the <up><down> footer). And nothing happens. Nothing overly interesting in the logs on Virtual consoles 3 or 4 either... I left it there for about 15 minutes with nothing happening.
Any suggestions? I'm happy to get my hands a bit dirty if I can do some of the setup manually through a shell...
;-)
