Re: aboot of 31r0a on multia - hangs (?) at kernel boot
Good evening, sir.
Ted here.
I should have been more explicit.
I perform a minimal install off of a 30r6 cd (I've also used the 30r5 cd)
and complete the install, including installing aboot. The default
installed kernel is a 2.2 kernel.
After I'm totally finished with said VERY minimal installation, I edit my
sources.list file, and perform a dist-upgrade, including any needed
updates to aboot.
Because I'm not very good with linux yet, and because of the differences
between a 2.2 kernel and image and a 2.6 kernel with initrd, I perform
that step entirely last. (Putting a new kernel onboard).
Once that's done, I install all the other things I'd use <which, seeing as
it's a MULTIA, isn't TOO Much, although I have gotten X and sound to work>
