I'm using a G4 machine and am having problems with debian-configuration. It is using the dialog interface. I manage to get through stuff like setting up the network but when it asks me about using md5 passwords, I find that the keyboard no longer responds. I try to break to another console by pressing ctrl-apple-f2 but that seems to be interpreted as the enter key. I can not break out of the program with ctrl-c or any other key combination I try. The only thing I can do is press the reset button. The other problem is that it automatically boots into this program when I reboot.
Has anyone had similar problems ? Has anyone got any ideas on how I can configure using standard text terminal instead of the dialog box interface ? (I'm not sure it will fix the problem but I can only try). How can I boot without the debian-configuration app firing up ? Thanks, Brendan Simon.
