Newbie needs help
Hi all. I've just recently installed the Debian sytem on an old 386.
It is the only OS on the computer. The install worked fine (minus I
can't boot from the HD).
I'm having problems with the FTP. The modem connects fine to my ISP
(i'm using ppp) but when I try to open a site I get "unable to look up
host" error. Also I have no clue how to install the software packages.
I tried to download to floppy and then transfer over (which is a problem
since my zip program doesn't do a split)
and then run DSELECT. When I choose the floppy access method, it says
to enter the floppy with the packages file. I put in the disk that has
the downloaded file on it but it does not except it. Any help with
getting this going would be great.
The computer is a PC clone 386, 16M Ram, 1.44 and 1.2 disc drives, 500M
hd, 33.6 modem. No CDROM. Thanks alot.
Tom
