I too am trying to install debian this way (onto another drive), though
I seem hung up in a different place than mentioned in this discussion. I
am wondering about your use of the command:
/usr/bin/env............/bin/bash --login
(a)because I am not familiar with how to use it, and, (b)not being
outlined in the section, "Installing Debian GNU/Linux from a Unix/Linux
System", which I am following for my installation, I am wondering if
missing this step is influencing my difficulties. Could you tell me a
little bit about what you are doing in this step?
You seemed to refer to this as "Localization Setup". Could this have
anything to do with the message I get when trying to run:
dpkg-reconfigure console-data
perl: warning: Setting locale failed
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LAUNGUAGE = (unset)
LC_ALL = (unset)
LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: console-data is not fully installed
I have completed step 3 in your outline (4 is omitted), but when it
comes to step 5, I am unable, because I find that packages such as
base-config and apt are not installed.
There is a much more detailed outline of my installation steps (and
"dead ends") under the thread, "*Debian Installation- difficulties
configuring system and installingpackages
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200307/msg01696.html>*
//" if you are interested.
Thank you, Allasso
