This is a discussion between myself (Ivan) & a new user. I cannot help any
further so forwarded to the list that some-one else has some ideas.
Please reply to the list and cc: Cristiano.

>(8) Configure the network (hostname "debian", then "no")
>(9) Install the base system
>(10) Configure the base system (timezone, country...)
>(11) Make linux bootable directly from HD
>(12) Make a boot floppy
>(13) Reboot the system (using HD)
>(14) Choose password for root
>(15) Create a normal user account
>(16) Enable shadow passwords
>(17) Remove the PCMCIA packages
>(18) Said no to PPP connection to install the system

>>If you used floppies, try either booting straight from the CD or restart

>>When you have booted Linux from the CD go through the base installation

>>automatically". If you wish you can install this module manually anyway by
>>pressing ENTER but this has never made a difference to my installations.

>>If still no problems, complete the installation (choose to start Linux by
>>default and to load LILO) and reboot as requested (note: do not eject the
>>CD until after the computer resets). When Linux reboots you can see the
>>kernel messages appear on the screen use the <SCROLL LOCK> key to halt the
>>display and <SHIFT PgUp> / <SHIFT PgDn> to see anything you missed. At
>>some stage the kernel will inform you what device it thinks the CD ROM is -
>>make a note of this and tell dselect the same device.
>>
>>OTOH if you cannot read from the CD when installing the base system then
>>you had best check the Hardware Compatibility How-To - it may be that your
