Re: Debian 2.2 setup problem
What kind of errors do you get? I guess you get the problem when
installing lilo, did you set the boot-flag on the partition (when
partitioning the hd)?
You don't need to load any drivers to complete the installation (except
the driver for your network if you install over a network).
