Installation Questions for a Debian Newbie
Hello All!
I am making the switch to Debian after using Slackware for quite sometime
and SLS before that. I am a seasoned Linux user, started out with one of
the first SLS distributions which included the .99pl9 kernel! I am,
however, new to Debian.
As I type this, FTP is hard at work downloading everything. I could nit
find any type of installation readme and therefore have one question.
Is it ok to rename all of the packages to an 8.3 format for installation
from a DOS partition? I currently have all the packages stored on my
existing Slackware partition. I usually do all my software installs from
a spare IDE hard drive and would like to put debian on there too.
Thanks!
