As I mentioned in my pervious e-mail, I have
just set up the Debian base and am getting to the FTP part. I've done this
one time before but something messed up and I ran out of disk space (!) I had a
405 meg drive (/dev/hdc1) set up as / (root) and a 128 meg drive split into one
16 meg swap drive (/dev/hdd2) and the rest just sort of floating as /secdrive
(spare space). (/dev/hdd1)
I reconfigured this to run the smaller partition
as / (/dev/hdd1), kept /dev/hdd2 as my swap drive, and mounted /dev/hdc1 at my
/usr which should give me a lot more space for downloading and installing
different modules.
My question is, for a first time installation, I
want to play with X11, I want to have all the tools necessary for the 'net, and
that's about it. My Linux'ing is primarially for playing around, and since
I've been a net junkie for going on 6 years, that's the toys I want to
have.
Also, I tried installing LILO from the boot
installation and it didn't work, and booting from the floppy takes somewhere
around 3 or 4 minutes. LILO is installable later, isin't it, or am I stuck
using a boot floppy to get to /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd since they're my secondary
master and slave on my IDE bus.
Thanks for your help!
