Re: debian install
Raymond:
First device on second controller is /dev/hdc. Can you boot Linux at
this point? If so, just log in as root and run dselect again. Make sure
your access method is correct, skip the select phase, and go right to
install. If you can't boot Linux, you should probably just start the install
from scratch-- sucks, I know, but things always go more smoothly the
second time around :).

The last couple days have been going thru a new install with win95 on
the machine. Everything proceeded great...slow paced...and methodical
until I got to dselect. I decided to use a profile(std workstation) but
wanted to look in dselect to check it out. I went to 'access' and
somehow I must have picked multi _ cds because the next screen asked me
to put in a CD and specify /dev/cdrom. This is where I got stuck and
could not go anywhere. I tried dev/hdb1. It recognizes the CD iso9660
just can't mount. I tried mount and other commands I could find under
the cd-rom how to. My CD-ROM is internal, NEC 3001A 17x-40x. During
setup, I used "the first ? on the secondary controller. This seemed to
work fine. I had to do a cntr/alt/del and I was able to get back to
windows. I am using Boot Magic to dual boot. How do I get back to where
I was; installing the packages? so I can finish with my installation. I
tried to cold boot with the custom floppy I made but won't let me in as
root. I know I have to signed in as root to use dselect. I am really
looking forward to getting this part behind me. Thanks for all your
help.Ray Ferrari.
