hi, had some time to give them[*] a try today.
some trouble i had was that the installer skipped over things before i could read them. i was able to select the language ok, i could select the us-english, at some point it skipped over something too quickly for me to read it. in trying to go back to restart to see if the message would show up the next time through it did get me back to the top, but then i think later it skipped over things. for reference i do have an existing partition table that i want to use so it might be skipping over that, but the message goes by so quickly that i cannot read it. also in the Alt-F3 window the message: Dec <date> (none) user-info dbootstrap[138] : mount Mounting /dev/hdc on nstmnt : No medium found is being displayed, but i cannot say at which step this appeared (as in i don't want to go back to reboot this machine at the moment). i do not have a /dev/hdc so that is correct that there isn't one, but why would it be bothering (i have two ide drives /hda (which has windows stuff and a few linux file systems from before) and /hdb (which has the rest of my linux stuff on it and is where i want to put this install). [*] so you know where i got them=== from debian.news: ... New Boot-Floppies for Woody. Eduard Bloch [3]volunteered to [4]coordinate the next release of Debian's boot-floppies. The next update to Debian 3.0 is planned for about two months after r1, so there are at least one and a half months left. The new boot-floppies will fix known outstanding problems in some architectures and include a more recent kernel. 3. http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot-0212/msg00798.html 4. http://people.debian.org/~blade/bf3024/ ... === hope this helps... ant (not subscribed to list, but reading it via usenet -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
