TROUBLE INSTALLING DEBIAN LINUX
WHEN I TRY TO INSTALL LINUX EVERYTHING GOES FINE UNTIL I HAVE TO REBOOT
THE MACHINE...I MADE A BOOT FLOPPY AND IT TELLS ME TO LEAVE IT IN...SO
THEN I REBOOT AND IT SAYS LOADING LINUX...THEN IT SAY UNCOMPESSING LINUX
AND IT GET STUCK AND JUST SITS THERE WITH TO FLOPPY DISK ACTIVITY...I
HAVE TRIED 4 DIFFERENT FLOPPY'S ALL WITH THE SAME RESULTS...I HAVE A 1
GB MAXTOR HARDDRIVE AND THERE IS NOTHING ELSE ON IT...I HAVE A SEPARATE
HARD DRIVE FOR WINDOW'S...
HERE IS A LIST OF MY HARDWARE.
INTEL P-2 266 OVERCLOCKED TO 300MHZ AT 100MHZ FRONT SYSTEM BUS
MAXTOR 1 GB HD FOR LINUX
NEC 1.44 FLOPPY
CYBERDRIVE 24X CD-ROM
64 MB SD-RAM
ASUS P2B MOTHERBOARD WITH INTEL 440BX AGP CHIPSET
STB VELOCITY 128 AGP CARD W/ 4MB RAM USING THE NVIDIA RIVA 128 CHIPSET
TWO 8MB CREATIVE VOODOO2 CARDS
1 5.7 GB MAXTOR DIAMOND MAX HD FOR NT AND WIN98
1 MITSUMI CD BURNER
CREATIVE SOUND BLASTER 16
MAXTECH NE2000 NETWORK CARD
MAXTECH 33.6 MODEM
WHEN I INSTALLED LINUX I LEFT ALL THE SETTINGS ALONE AND DID NOT
CUSTIMIZE ANY OF MY HARDWARE SETTINGS...DO I NEED TO MANUALLY CONFIGURE
MY FLOPPY DRIVE?
IS IT MY OVERCLOCKED CPU? I THINK MY HARDWARE MEETS THE MINIMUM
REQUIRMENTS.
I REALLY WANT TO LEARN LINUX...I HATE MICROSOFT!!!! NT AND WINDOWS ARE
JUNK..I HAVE PROBALLY RE-INSTALLED WINDOWS 50 TIMES IN THE LAST
YEAR...SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME....
SINCERELY,
TMMICK
