Re: Newbie story --install
If someone comes along and says that you can run a winmodem under wine it
will hurt. I was planning on looking into that sometime.
What I did was the Win/Dos install as laid out on the website under
installation and got the base system installed. Then I did the minimum
package from the initial selection and downloaded at 14.4 althoguh the
following would have worked.
I chose my packages on the deselct and +'d them out just like I was going
to download then just wrote them down (damn winprinter too). Then I went to
the website and using Gozilla I downloaded about 35 -40 meg of additional
files that I wanted under windows. The package search at the site does good
at linking the depends. I put the files in a folder on the c: drive
c:/debian/opts
Then under the deselect method used the install from hard disk and called
it /hda1 then when it asks what filesystem MSDOS then where are the .deb
files would be /debian/opts/
the the package question is none.
Then run dselect step 2) update and it should find the files and then you
double check the selections in dselect and then run the 3) install..
Thats it..funny how almost simple it was. I do get a lot of errors that
have to be hand debugged but very minor considering the possiblilites of
not even being able to download.
