Problems with install
Hi,
I've been getting a "beating" trying to install debian... First I was
going to do 0.93, but it looks to me like tsx-11.mit.edu no longer has
it? The debian-0.93 directory over there disappeared...
So I went ahead and started attempting 1.0.
Maybe I'm having problems because I'm trying to install over an older
distribution (slackware)? I went through all the steps (with the 5
floppies), then did a "dftp getlist" then "dftp getselect", to grab all
of the packages...
Then set up a packages file for doing the dpkg.
Here's the output from script. I ctrl-c'ed in the middle because of the
errors, but I don't know why it's segfaulting. (It looks like tar is
segfaulting?)
Please take a look:
