Ohm for some reason I thought you were using _woody's_ installer. I think you mentioned bf2.4, which is part of woody? If you have woody's root.bin loaded, and you're using a sarge CD; this is not going to work, I don't think. The root.bin (now called initrd.gz I think) that works (or doesn't work) with the sarge CD is not widely available yet. I think someone on the list posted a link to one the other day, or you have to build it yourself from cvs. > And for the network install, they're correctly downloaded, but something > goes wrong after the download. > > For now, I'm trying to build a complete base system (with libc, complete > yaboot, and correct keyboard with "|" (often needed ;-) ) > > After this, I'll put it on a cdrom with a"big" cp from the cdrom to > the/ partition. ybin -v and go...but I prefer over all a clean > Debian install. cp will not work by itself. The permissions will not be set right. Instead, if you want to help with testing the sarge installer, find the correct initrd, boot it, and file bug reports :) If you really just want to get Debian installed, then get a woody CD image, or just do a net install of woody using your root.bin. Then upgrade to sarge with apt-get dist-upgrade after you have a skeleton installation. -- Debian GNU/Linux Operating System By the People, For the People Chris Tillman (a people instance) toff one at cox dot net
