Hi,
I'm a newbie and I'd like to install Debian on a
computer of mine. I tried installing from CD but can't get it to
work. I get a blank screen after a second or two when I hit enter. I
am using the correct version for my architecture (i386). I tried
nolangchooser which got rid of the blank screen but the computer hangs every
time anyway (after apparently finding my CD- and CDRW drives, etc. successfully)
. This is what the last line reads before it hangs:
init started: BusyBox v0,60.3-pre
(2002.01.21-22:50+0000) multi-call binary
I had Windows installed on the computer but have
already reformatted C (format c: /s) from DOS. There is one partition
created using the fdisk utility. I tried running fips but it told me that
12-bit FAT wasn't supported (?).
I don't have a lot of system information because I
only know how to read it from Windows and I forgot to write it down. (I know
this wasn't the smartest thing I could have done.) If you need more
information about my system before being able to help me, could you please tell
me what you need to know and what utilities I should use to get
it?
Thank you very much for your help!
