trouble installing debian (any version)
I'm having trouble installing debian on my p75 generic brand laptop (trying
slink and potato). I have gone through setup, installed drivers and base
system, but it gives an error:
"There was a problem extracting the Base System from /target/base2_1.tgz" at
the end of installation. When I reboot, it seems to freeze on LILO.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Could it be a bad disk in the mix of
things? It doesn't seem to report any bad disks, but who knows?
Thanks,
