My experiences with Debian on my Starmax 5000 are as follows: * I had linuxppc on two partitions; I squeezed the second's material onto the first, leaving about 200 megs free. I figured after I got base started, I could erase the first partition and move /usr there. * I did "tar zxvf base..." onto the second partition. * Now, I'm unsure about what to do. I tried copying the rescue disk image to ramdisk.image.gz in the system folder and starting bootX with the ramdisk set and / set to /dev/hda8, to no effect. If I just start bootx without the ramdisk, it tells me I'm trying to start an unconfigured system and need to run the rescue disk. I tried rawriting the rescue disk image to a floppy on a PC and booting from it; there was no luck. Could this be because there are problems with the rescue floppy? Do any of you have any suggestions? Phil Fraering [EMAIL PROTECTED]
