Hello! If messages are scrolling down too fast, you can wait till it stops and then scroll up by pressing shift and the cursor-up key. Do you know at which controller and position your cdrom is connected? If it's primary master, it's /dev/hda, primary sl=dev/hdb, sec. ma=/dev/hdc, sec. sl=/dev/hdd. If it's connected to a promise udma controller add-on card or similar, it maybe won't work for install! It has to be connected at the mainbrd controllers (if your mainbord has some).
Kind Regards, Stephan Hachinger P.S.: I've got many friends actually frustrated by the win2000 installation. So, don't give up. ----- Original Message ----- From: "J" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Cc: <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Sent: Saturday, August 19, 2000 2:50 PM Subject: Re: ### a problem with installing Deb 2.1 > That is all very nice... thanks for the distro advertisements, but I already have a (what I hope is) an install CD, and I'd like to use the one I have if I can.
