Install Questions
Hello there,
I just setup my linux system last night and finished the generic
install. I have a few questions on things that didn't work as I
expected. I hope this is the right place to ask.
Ok, my system is a pent 166 w/32MB RAM and two hard drives I found
laying around (1.6GB, 2.0GB).
I created a root partition of 60MB,
/usr of 1000MB
/var 360MB
/home 1915MB
I hope this is about correct.
Anyways, My two questions / problems are:
#1 I was not able to install my CD drive. I have a Wearnes 8X CD drive
(IDE connection and a cheap sound card.) I found one selection on the
driver disk for "Wearnes" and some other drives, but it failed on
installation. I did not type in any parameters because I didn't know
what it wanted.
#2 I tried to use the FTP option in dselect and it comes up with the
following error message:
Net::FTP: Bad peer address at /usr/lib/perl5/Net/FTP.pm line 405
FTP ERROR
I was able to connect to ftp.debian.org via ftp from the shell. Any
idea what is wrong with this? Ideally, I would like to get this working
using the ftp option. If I can't, what is the proper method of loading
and installing packages.
Thanks,
Doug Thistlethwaite
