2.0 installation
Hello,
I am trying to install Debian for the first time on my PC, and everything
seems straightforward enough. Using the instructions for installing
version 2.0, I wrote the rescue floppy and downloaded via web browser the
files necessary for installation from DOS partition on a harddisk. During
the installation of the base system, though, an error message pops up:
"No directory containing base1_3.tgz below /instmnt"
It is my understanding that /instmnt is the linux directory for
installation, and that the harddisk installation fetches the files I
copied to my DOS directory named tempinst. Should I also place a copy of
base1_3.tgz in this directory, in addition to the base2_0.tgz that I
already have?
Please send any comments you can, and if you need more details about my
system or what I am doing please ask.
Thanks in advance, and I am looking forward to running Debian Linux!
Sincerely,
Ken Valentine
