1.3 Installation
I just installed frozen on a machine here destined to be a router. I used
the May-20 disks and the ftp method within dselect. All went pretty well
except:
in the Packages file "at" is versioned "at_3.1.6-1.deb"
while the actual file in bo/binary-i386/admin is at_3.1.7-1.deb. I used
dpkg -i manually to get this one in there. There are a few (seemingly
harmless) warnings about broken pipes right at the start of the ftp
install.
Otherwise I was quite impressed. The option to install the base disks via
NFS is a huge plus. I do quite a few installs, and not having to rewrite
these disks as the disk-sets are updated will save me a lot. Not a lot of
software was installed on this system as it's going to spend most of it's
life being a router, so it's not as complete a test of the installation as
some others will be...
One thing: the only way I could get to frozen from dselect was via the
ftp method. All the others only gave me the choice of stable or unstable,
did I miss something? Perhaps more people would use frozen if dselect
gave them the option, regardless of their install method? Just a
thought...
