Hi Mario & all, today I try to install my new Debian sarge with the two floppies you mentionned below. for your info I test that with an Handytec BrailleTop and it works well for BRLTTY. But I don't succeed to install the whole system. I tried to start by differents steps and the result is always the same : at one moment I can't go to the following steps : One time I configured the network but after that it couldn't load installer modules; Another time I began with the module installer step but after configuring the network and download the installer modules it loops on the cdrom detection and impossible to go back ! another time it looped on the partitionning step. so what is the best appproach to adopt to perform the install with the new installer ? can I find a documentation explaining a little how to proceed ? perhaps on cvs but can you give me an url to checkout this doc if it exists ? Or can you advice me about the best chronology to adopt ? Another question : I said previously one time I looped on the partitionning step but it proposed only an automatic partitionning method. does it exist a manual method or is that not implemented yet ? In fact my hard disk is already partitionned so I don't want to partition it automatically :-) So, I think a little documentation will help me ! Thx in advance,
