Comments/Problems:
Hi
Debian Rocks, besides when the install doesn work :)
I tryed to install it from the Samsung SCR-3231 CD-Rom.
CD-Boot works, installer goes trough all steps till it tries to mount the cdrom to load the main installer.
Here it failes to mount the cd, mount command error is "1". This seems to be caused by the buggy samsung cdrom which is also not flash-upgradable acording to the samsung HP.
This problem is described at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/191407 in junktion with Slakware 9.1.
Also, Knoppix 3.4 cant mount itŽs file systems from cd. An old Knoppix 3.1 strangely worked flawlessly.
Maybe i try to get some other cd-rom but since this can be hard for me at the moment, i would be glad if you can give me a hint how to get the drive working.
My english is not that good, sorry :).
Hope to hear soon from you guys.
Greets, Sascha
P.s: What happens to sarge when it evolves from unstable to stable, do i have do something special or does the usual apt-get upgrade do all for me ?
