I have a machine thas has been running as a diskless box that mounts / over nfs. I now have an 800 mb drive to put in it, so I want to use that to install debian on the machine. Since this computer is also a headless box, I'd prefer to be able to accomplish this without hooking a monitor up to it, ie, from a telnet session.
Well, I've installed dpkg_1.4.0.17_i386.nondebbin.tar.gz into the new partition, which is mounted on /mnt. Next, I tried to install ldso, but I'm getting this error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] />dpkg --root=/mnt -i /var/mirror/debian/hamm/hamm/binary/base/ldso_1.9.2-3.deb (Reading database ... 0 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking ldso (from .../binary/base/ldso_1.9.2-3.deb) ... dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute new pre-installation script: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing /var/mirror/debian/hamm/hamm/binary/base/ldso_1.9.2-3.deb (--install): subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/mirror/debian/hamm/hamm/binary/base/ldso_1.9.2-3.deb Hm, I've never seen this error before... anyone have an idea what it's talking about? Even better, does anyone have a list of commands you need to run to install debian onto a new partition like this, or what packages should be installed in what order, etc? -- see shy jo -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
