Install problems debian 2.0

[Bedwyr]

I am new at this Linux thing but I believe that it is a great OS. How do I recompile the Kernel when I have not installed it yet. I ran RH on my old computer but I have upgraded since. I want to install from the 2.0 cd if this is possible. -----Original Message----- From: Nathan E Norman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Bedwyr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Date: Thursday, September 03, 1998 11:43 PM Subject: Re: Install Problem >On Thu, 3 Sep 1998, Bedwyr wrote: > > : Everytime I try and Install Debian 2.0 It will stop at the same point.
