Hey dude!
Did you actually try the instruction set you posted
at http://www.uk.debian.org/debian-cd/ch11.html?
I hate it when people say "all you gotta
do..." because invariably there is always more to do.
That's why linux is so very difficult for newbies
to jump onto. All the linux gurus out there are always saying "all you
gotta do..." and then leave us newbies grovelling in the dust begging for
more help or giving up in frustration.
SO, I have to ask you, once I get to the /dists/stable/main/disks-XXXX/ directory, which one of the two folders there contain the Debian
distribution that I can download? One is labeled 2.2.26-2001-06-14/ and the
other is labeled "current." Each of of these directories contains
subdirectories as well. So, once again, I ask what is it that is "all I
gotta do" to get the download of the "potatoe" Debian distribution?
Oh, and by the way, the readme seems to be written
in Polish. Not a lot of help to me.
Let me quote some more of your
instruction set: "This one directory is all you need to get Debian up and
running. After this, your new Debian system can connect directly to a Debian FTP
mirror to automatically fetch and install anything else you need."
Hmmm........we'll see about that.
Thanks for your prompt response and please forgive my "flaming" attitude,
but I'm trying to learn how to use linux and it is quite frustrating at
times.
Thanks again.
Jim
