What a mess!
Ok, obviously, if I'm viewing this from Windows and want to
install online to another hard drive and download the updates or what I need for
it to install.
I go to your start page, go to downloads, and find? Fdisk or
install? No, NO SUCH BASIC ITEM, because it is MISSING!!!!
So I find, "Getting Debain" click onto. Gee's 1/2 way down the
page crammed with junk text, with a link to "Making a CD" ?
Gee's!?!!
The again, HIDDEN somewhere in TEXT "Fetch full CD images"
???????? How about grab a bone for your BURNER? Dang!
Who made this, very professional? Think MS has no problem in
competition. So ON FETCH! Page http://www.debian.org/distrib/cd
Clicks to http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/
Which gives me a Gig ilo and other download separate software,
I WILL NOT INSTALL! To find....????
Again 1/2 way down the page....
look at the detailed information
about the installation process.
Which I see NO COMPAQ PRESARIO'S, all that other mumble
jumble, is just that, WHERE IS MY PC???? Guess, you have NONE for HOME
PC's....
So I guess I'll scroll down ( Geee'ss the page goes on for
miles) to find ONE USA link in http, WOW! 50,000 mirror links and sites,
and downloads, ??? How many versions and downloads to you have> ??? 50,000
links, that would take me 40 years! But let me guess!
Oregon sounds good, my son goes there. I know to click http
cause DO NOT know how to download from FTP,
AND NEITHER DOES THE REST OF THE KNOWN CP WORLD! (Right there,
you ELIMINATED 90% of any MS converts)
Obviously, after clicking the link there, it has 3 more, all
with 3 more sub links, which you claimed earlier IMAGE file, (The only way I
could have know is you mentioned it was an IMAGE file somewhere on the opening
page! Whew, rocket scientist again, first time windows users WOULD NEVER PIECE
THAT!
Also my aspirations of installing on DOWNLOADING, is history!
YOU SKIPPED THAT ENTIRE PART EXCEPT FOR THE OPENING PAGE??? Dah !!! We forgot???
What's the deal??? Where'd you RE-hide it???
Dang, nevermind, I'll download the IMAGE FILE
AGAIN!
I did this ONCE BEFORE earlier today! When I BURNED a CD, it
DID NOT WORK, my Linux friend, who got me started on this DECIPHERING LINUX made
websites, blew me away.
So he burned CD's off my hard drive attached to his PC,
BECAUSE CD CREATOR 4 HAS NO ISO converter processes, BUT funny his older PC
burner did? Amazing!
OK, I will try a download again, then place this in my 200
Pentium PC and watch it say no operating system.
Gee's you guys got to piece this together. I tried the CD disk
boot from CD and it ran great, installing though, what the mess.
And the website? Has NO STEP BY STEP FOR FIRST TIME MS WINDOWS
BEGINNERS!
I have 10 gigs of webspace left on my Linux server, and was
thinking of providing MIRROR site for you guys, but dang, I'd be link
50,001
I'll write back after I download, install the CD and
EVERYTHING WORKS!
YEAH RIGHT!
We shall see, won't we?
