Hello,
I'm a Linux beginner and I want to install Linux in my
computer but I experienced some problem.
I have a Pentium 133 Mhz, 32 Mb RAM with a 1.6Gb hard disk
with Win95 installed.
The hard disk is yet partitionned (with the windows95 Fdisk)
as follow :
Primary partition 600
Mb contains Win95 and other software
1st logical partition 600
Mb contains users files
2nd logical partition 346 Mb where I
want to install Linux
I can't backup my disk so I don't want to make a new
partition, neither make a swap partition (Afraid to loose data).
So I try to install Linux without the swap
partition.
When I want to install the linux Kernel, the system ask me for
the resc1440.bin file. But when I put the rescue floppy or when I indicate the
location of this file on the first partition /dev/hda1, then installation
software answer "The attemp to open the resc1440.bin file failed" o
something like this.
What's happening ? I redownload this file in the case of being
corrupted and I make new rescue disks but the problem still there.
I have downloaded from the Debian FTP the image files
resc1440.bin, drv1440.bin and the base2_1.tgz file in order to install from the
DOS partition.
Another thing : how can I print the hardware list that appears
at the beginning of the installation software ?
Your help will be welcome.
Alex
