I'm using an Atapi IDE CD-R drive which I am booting from with the Debian 2.1 bootable CD-Rom (it came with the O'Reilly book). Is this the correct CD I should be doing the install from? When I boot up, the messages fly by pretty fast... how and where do I look to see which dev the cd-r is on?
Sorry if these questions seem naive... my experience is in webmaster-ing and I'm tackling the install (and other sys-admin-ish tasks) for the first time. I'm hoping soon to be a full-fledged Deb operator! :-) On Thu, 17 August 2000, Cameron Matheson wrote: > > > I'm trying to install v2.1 on my machine, and I'm running into a > problem. > > Don't we all? > > > > I am at the part "Install Operating System Kernel and Modules" and I > > > select "cdrom".
