dselect woes
I am currently trying to install some packages in Debian 2.0 (using the CD
Rom), using dselect. I can select them without any problem, however when I
choose the option to actually install them, I get the following error
message :
"mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many
mounted file systems.
installation script returned error exit status 1.
Press RETURN to continue."
This was working just fine a couple of days ago, and I am wondering if I
have accidentally corrupted one of the system files (or something ?)
The following two snippets may be useful in diagnosing this fault.
(1) This is the response when I execute the mount command without any
parameters :
"/dev/hdb2 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /mnt/cdrive type msdos (rw)
/dev/hdb1 on /mnt/ddrive type msdos (rw)"
(2) This is the contents of /etc/fstab (I added in the line for the cdrom,
thinking that it might make the difference but it didn't) :
"# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/hdb2 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hdb3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0"
Any help appreciated !!
