Kinda strange; I was expecting it to ask for stuff like etc.tgz and so on, but it never asked. Could it be that it figured out where to get it? I have enver installed Linux but in open/netbsd it would ask which of those tarbals (etc.tgz, man.tgz, etc) I wanted to install. But, debian here did not.Debian installs deb packages, not tarballs. Did you read the installation docs?
Oh ok. Sorry. As I said before, I have never used or installed Linux in my life. So, I am drawing from my open/netbsd and solaris memory; I will slip a few times here and there =)
Anyway, since I have under 300MB for the system, I was planning, after looking at http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/m68k/ch-partitioning.en.html#s-planning-use, to start with something on the lines of the Work_std task but with a bit more. I really do not know what to put in the machine, besides that X will not be installed. You see, the objective of this machine is to teach me the difference between Linux and the other unix flavours and lookalikes I have used. So, how much would it need, say, to show me how it differs from Solaris?
> So, we reached the stage is asks to reboot. I let it start (tosynchronize partitions) and then turn the machine off. When I reboot the computer, I go to Penguim and tell it not to use a ram disk and tell it boot=/dev/sda5. After saving that I let it boot. It does not go very far. The error message I get is: Kernel panic : UFS : Unable to mount root fs on 00:00 What could be wrong?You mean root=/dev/sda5? And you n key is broken, debiaN, penguiN. Christian
Yep, I meant that. I guess that is what I get by being dyslexic. Too many keys on the keyboard ;)
BTW, I just wanted to add that once I changed "boot" to "root", all went well. So, I am pretty much on my way to complete installing woody in my Mac SE/30. =)
