Re: Installing Debian Linux

[Dale Scheetz <dwarf@polaris.net>]

When you boot up a base system there is a command line ftp and telnet
client available. Can you ping ftp.debian.org from the base system
machine? If you can't make the command line ftp client work:

	>ftp ftp.debian.org

because of timeouts, but you can get to locations on the "local" net, this
begins to look like a DNS problem. Take a look in /etc/resolv.conf for
lines like:

	nameserver 199.44.34.2

I forget how many are allowed but you can have more than one such line in
this file.

Hope that helps,

Dwarf

P.S. you probaby don't want to use the IP address above. It's my providers
Name Server ;-)
