FYI...... -----Original Message----- From: Jim Westveer [mailto:jwest@netnw.com] Sent: Saturday, January 30, 1999 9:02 PM To: debian-cd@lists.debian.org Subject: dpkg_multicd_0.13 and boot-disks 2.1.6 still broken.. Let me preface this with "I may have done something wrong" --------- I downloaded the boot-disks 2.1.6 from Incomming (on medco.net) dpkg_multicd_0.13 was already updated earlier this week... So, I burned a set of release disks (disk 1 & 2) ------ I booted from the disk, and the initial install went well.... I rebooted to the kernel now on the hard disk.... Observations: 1. The defaults [Y/n] Create user account and Remove PCMCIA packages still default to NO. 2. I selected the multi-cd install method. 3. I selected (with Y) one of the pre-selected packages..in this case the std-server. and the first pass of dselect ended with errors on apache and ph3...so I restarted (I)nstall...and received the message: Wrong Disk. I need "Debian GNU/Linux slink" but I found "Debian GNU/Linux slink (2.1) 1/5 main binary section 1 SAM1990130 Please change the disks and press enter ...hummmm... me thinks we be calling the same things by different names ;-) 4. When I checked the /dev/loop? none were found...not that it may matter much, I think dpkg-multicd_0.13 is not using them now. 5. I could install a rudimentary system by selecting the old "cdrom" installation method... This information may be incorrect if I goofed up the download of the new boot-disks....although a quick glance at the CDROM shows the correct (new) files. Anyhoooo....thanks and goodnight....off to drink beer with my woman.
