Re: HAMM ftp proxy install / Hamm Installing / blah
Well since I'm doing it as we speak, I might as well write out what
works, since I got all this nice help from the list with my problem, and
in the fassion of supor models makeing their speachs ' if I had a
hundred grand, I would buy everyone a puppy so they could feal the love
I'm fealing now! ' except I'd give you all hamm.
well here is how I did it (and made it work :)
first I booted on the 1.3.1 installation disk, went through for a bare
install (bare minumum to get on the internet) in my case that was
configuring the eth0 device. I gave it my debian CD and it installed
the base system etc. Then i made mya ccounts, (after restarting) and
when dselect came up I hit exit. I then obtained a copy of the auto up
to libc6 off the Debian www sight (well I ftped it from a friend) ran
it and upgraded my dkpg so I could then do a *working* ftp install of
debian. at this point those of you useing PPP will have to use dselect
and your CD to setup your PPP connection (but nothing more .. you will
get all the other stuff from Ham.. ie no X no libs no bitchx..). Then
when you are connected and have run the autoup.sh script (with a base
system it should have no problems seeing as nothing is installed to
conflict with it) then run dselect
choose FTP
ftp.debian.org
(passive or not.. I don't go through a firewall so I use non-passive and
no proxie)
the base dir is /debian
then when it asks you to tell it the stable non-free contrib dirs type
in:
dists/frozen/main dists/frozen/non-free dists/frozen/contrib
walla enter. it should connect (if your inet works ..) adn see the dirs
are there, then select update and wait while it grabs the package files.
sometime along hte way it will ask you if you want to remove your old
package lists. say yes so you can choose from a Hamm only installation.
now go through and select, when you hit installation you can leave your
computer going for however many days its nessicery to download all that
kewl new Hamm crap.
the rest of the installation goes regular
This was done on a compleetly clean system. I downloaded the packages to
/tmp deleted them afterwards and am now a happy hip ham user.
mad pheer.
