Hi, I have a Dell Optiplex GXPro, on which I wish
to install potato. But the BIOS does not support booting from cd-rom, so I went
to the debian installation manual and created a floppy for rescue.bin, another
for root.bin, and another for driver.bin. I used the compact flavour, and I
installed base from the first of my three potato cd-roms. The installation went
well, until I was asked to reboot. During the reboot I got the standard
messages (I have installed potato many times before), until the part where the
network superserver is started (...starting network superserver:
inetd).
Then, I got the following error
message:
/sbin/termwrap file not
found
exec: /sbin/termwrap file not
found
After ten or twelve attempts, the
following
ID '1' respawning too quickly: deactivating for
five minutes.
Sure enough, after five minutes the
/sbin/termwrap file not found messages appeared
again.
I re-installed four times, rebooted from floppy,
etc, but the same message appeared. I went ALT F2, and there was a boot prompt!
So I logged in as root, no password yet, and had a look around the file system,
but I couldn't find this "termwrap" anywhere. I did a apt-get upgrade from my
cd-roms, but the only thing to change was debconf-tiny. So, I come to you. Any
clues, help, etc, greatly appreciated
MH
