debian installation woes
I did the installation for debian, but it failed
miserably.
It did the initial install, but it crashed every time
I rebooted, so I booted from the boot disk I created.
Once I did that (it took about 15 minutes to read the
kernel from the floppy), it went to the main installer
thing.
I selected the developer option with extra bits (I
selected it because it included perl, but it looks
like it included absolutely every language ever made).
It took me to the dselect screen, but I couldn't
figure out how to select and deselect packages so I
just left it as it was.
Once I'd fluked and managed to exit (q, Q, x, and ESC
only seem to do something on specific screens, so I
had to go in and out of a bunch of screens before it
would let me exit), I got to the screen that lets me
start the actual installation phase.
Unfortunately, halfway through the installer one of
the scripts returned with an error.
When I selected install again, it went past it, but it
failed in some configuration section. I don't know
what went wrong because it scrolled a few screens full
of stuff past.
After that, every time I selected install, it ran
through all the packages and then returned with
anotehr script error.
When I selected exit, it said my system was installed
and ready to go, so I logged in and tried running some
programs, but they all failed because they couldn't
find any shared libraries.
Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
