Re: Where can I fine "basedebs.tgz" file for Woody
I'm going to try another (my fifth) install tomorrow, following the
steps you've posted below, and taking careful notes. The previous four
installation attempts have not gone well and I've managed to end up in
package dependency hell each time. Right now I have some bastardized
version between potato and woody because some of the woody packages
refused to install.
Stay tuned.
