Machine: Compaq 4000 Processor: Intel 166MMX Memory: 256MB Root Device: ide-1 (/dev/hda) Root Size/partition table: didn't get this far. Output of lspci: Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [E] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: No CD in drive, detection of cd-drive failed, The machine has HardWare problems so this could explain why the cd-drive was not detected. When trying to install in Dutch (Nederlands, Netherlands) without cd I had terrible difficulties to install a system (I tried to install an unstable distro). The install procedure kept going back to the menu option to detect Debian-install-cd (I wanted a network install). Which ever I did I always got an error message that no cd-drive was detected and after that it returned back to the menu. It got too confusing to see what was happening. It's not my first debian installation by a long shot, but this was the first time I had to give up because of total confusion.
