Some more boot-floppy issues: malformed release file again
I now carried on installing my Dell Inspiron with the idepci boot
floppies, since bf2.4 made problems (see my first mail).
I noticed some more small problems after the base install. First of all,
when choosing to install base over the net and selecting
http://http.de.debian.org/debian as the URL, I got the (famous?)
"malformed release file" message. I changed the URL to ftp://ftp..., and
it went well.
In the following information box (where the debs downloaded at the
moment are displayed) the title says "Zum Debuggen ALT-F4 drücken"
(press ALT-F4 for debugging) which, of course, should be ALT-F3.
When the bootdisk is created, the previous window (select /dev/hda or
/dev/hda{1,2,3,...} for LILO install) is "coming back" and is displayed
in the foreground again.
Bye, Frank
