Debian 2.1 Installation a mess

[Shawn Nguyen <shawnnguyen@prodigy.net>]

Hi,

	I just got my slink CD in the mail.  Unfortunately it is not going very 
well.  I think that I am doing it right.
1.) Boot up from 1st CD.
2.) Install base and set up everything fine.
3.) Get to install the rest of the system in dselect.
4.) Put 2nd CD into CD-ROM drive.
3.) Update.
4.) Put 1st CD-ROM in drive.
5.) Install.
6.) Put 2nd CD-ROM back in.
7.) Install.
8.) Dselect return message, installation OK.
9.) Try to set up system i.e.
10.) Finds out that GPM can't be set up because doesn't look like serial 
module is running.
11.) Tried to set up X, same problem, since the mouse doesn't work.

Apparently, there seems to be some kind of new changes to the serial deal 
that I don't quite understand I guess.  I remember on Hamm that when I boot 
up my system it would try to look for my serial ports, it's not doing that 
in slink it seems like.  This seems silly, I must be doing something 
seriously wrong here.  HELP???  Thanks, for any advice.
