Re: Installer can't find HardDisk...

[Simon Meelich <debian@meelich.dyndns.org>]

Hey,

well I guess I'm definitely no guru, since I'm pretty new to Debian 
myself. So far I didn't have any problems with Etch  but, frankly 
spoken, it has not too many tasks: MythTV, Apache, FTP - that's it..... 
it's basically only a PVR and I access it every once in a while when I'm 
on the road..... I guess you're better of if you ask the real gurus in 
this forum.
