In order to achieve that, I copy loadlin.exe, linux, root.bin, rescue.bin and drivers.tgz onto a FAT32 partition which will co-exist with my woody installation. I chose this method, because the machine I work on does not have a floppy drive nor CD (for now). After installing the base system over the network (FTP) and booting into woody, I'm at "Apt Configuration". I wish to continue with my FTP installation, so I pick it as my method of fetching the packages. But all I get is an error: "Apt Configuration Failed to access the Debian archive When I tried to access the Debian archive using the information you provided, apt gave the following error. I will run through the questions again, try to correct the error. Filed to fetch ftp:// *** ftp site here *** Something wicked happened resolving *** ftp site here *** (-3) Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead." I check the network interfaces and it seems like ifconfig returns no ethX up! Next, I look at rc2.d and see: S13pcmcia S14ppp ...but nowhere can I find dhcp. I start it manually on another console and, of course, this corrects the problem. How about adding "S15dhclient"? Or perhaps this should be handled by base-config or something else? ----- End forwarded message ----- -- see shy jo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
