Re: install on toshiba laptop
Hello - got minor difficulties installing debian on a toshiba laptop.
Did try the regular netinstall,the XFS-kernel netinstall and the unofficial
sid CD's (well actually only disc1).
Didn't get anywhere with each of those.Both netinstalls died somewhere in the
process even before I got to select partitions without any error messages and
the sid Cd didn't find 'libcdeb' as far as I remember.I don't think that
there is any exotic hardware problem involved - it's an Intel chipset and I
try to install via dhcp with eth0 behind a router that handles the connection
with the provider.

Should I try to give the woody CD's a spin on this?Are the sid CD's generally
stable to install (not the packages - just the installer)?
any ideas appreciated,
Klaus
