Installation problem
Hi.
I'm having difficulties getting Debian 2.2rev6 installed onto a rather old
system (Pentium 100MHz, 64MBram, ~1GBhd, 8xCDROM). I boot from the CD set
which I've downloaded and burned onto CD-Rs. The partitioning and
configuration of partition mount points is fine, and after it when I signal
a go to begin the installation of the modules, the installer promts me to
insert the CD-ROM. When I do so and the installer commences, the following
message soon appears:
Installing Drivers from:
/instmnt/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/drivers.tgz
At this, my CD drive clicks and hisses for a while, then stops altogether
and the installation is stuck. Nothing more happens and the system won't
respond to any keystrokes, nor anything else for that matter except a system
reset.
If anyone has any concrete tips on how I might get around the problem I'd be
thankful. Even if not, maybe it's a problem you should look into so it at
least is fixed until the next release. There might be a problem with my CD
drive, but I consider that somewhat unlikely since 1) I've succeded in
getting so far, and 2) I've succeded in installing SOT Linux/BestLinux from
it before.
Regards,
Ludvig Svenonius
