Old Compaq 5670 system: Problem with netinst
Hi,
I am mailing since I dont know what packages to report to.
I have been trying to install Debian via the netinstCD on an old Compaq
5670, 450Mhz PII with 8Gb disk.
The problem is that during the install of all packages the space on the
system partition seems to run out.
These are my installation choices.
1. Let debian decide how to partition the disk.
1.a two partitions: one the / and one for /home.
1.b install a standard system and a desktop system (skrivbordsmiljö in
Swedish)
Debian sets the partitionsizes to:
1. ~ 2 Gb for the system /
2. ~ 5 Gb for /home
My opinion, after I checked in a terminal (alt F4), is that ~ 2 Gb for
a debian desktop system (/ ) seems to be to small. Messages in the
terminal was 'No space left on device'. And then the rest of the
installation process is useless to continue with, nothing works.
I am trying to install with only one partiton (more space) and see if
this works better.
I like Debian and hope that this perhaps can be of interest.
I'd be happy to answer any qestions
/best regards Johan S
