new user of debian and booting "notebook" brand 486DX with 16meg ram
I made the required floppies. Ran scandisk to double check the integrity.
Put in a 500 meg conner hd. and formatted using fdisk.
When starting the install process it goes to the boot prompt and then
proceeds to the "Loading root.bin then the Loading linux and uncompressing
then to a bunch of stuff on the screen and to where the hard drive
specifications are and then my laptop goes into "sleep mode" until I reboot
it. (ie. the sleep light comes on and the screen goes blank) It has a
vga compatible screen and full size hard drive.
I tried installing on my Packard Bell Pentium 75 and had no problems with
the same disks. I was going to try to do a double boot with my 6.4 gig
seagate drive on my laptop but ran into this "sleep" problem. I thought
maybe it had something to do with ezdrive so that is when I changed to the
500 meg drive and formatted it for a test base.
Help!
Paul Kennedy, Thank you.
