Installed slink successfully, with small problems
Summary Information:
Name: Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho
Date: 1998-01-04
Source: ftp://ftp.jyu.fi/Debian-install
Method: 3 1/2 Floppy rescue disk, other images on a mounted
partition
Machine: Celeron 266MHz, 64MB, 4.3GB disk, 33k modem, GUS MAX sound
card, Pilot PS/2 mouse (3 buttons)
Result: Install went fine with small problems
Process:
Used dd to make the rescue floppy, downloaded the base system
tarball and the drivers floppy image to the harddrive. Completed the
install procedure, rebooted and installed a Basic profile.
Notes:
The machine had two Debian installations, a production system
running Potato and a testing system with Hamm. This test install
reused the common /home for these two installations and wiped
the Hamm test installation. The partition table was not modified.
The root partition was at the end of the disk.
After the color/monchrome selection, the "The installation program
is determining the current state of the system" step took several
minutes - far longer than usual for this system.
The selection "make Linux bootable from hard disk" threw me back to
the color/monochrome selection. The third vc noted an exit status
"b" for the process I assume to be responsible for this.
Here is my partition table:
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 523 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 6 48163+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hda2 7 523 4152802+ 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 7 25 152586 83 Linux native
/dev/hda6 26 193 1349428+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hda7 194 201 64228+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda8 202 497 2377588+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hda9 498 523 208813+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hda9 was the target root, /dev/hda6 was the target /home and
/dev/hda7 was the swap space. Other partitions are part of the
production installation and was left untouched.
I will probably file a bug report about the last one. Any comments
before I do?
