Arron, I am a total newbie to linux installs and I was able to install LILO just fine the first time I popped it in. Since then I have had no troubles, but navigating the OS in Command Line prompt, but that is what I want to learn. I am now setting up security and learning the VI Editor. All I gotta say is load up a Windows Boot Floppy FDISK it or use CFDISK from Debian to erase the hard drive totally and start fresh.
Thanks, Dan ----------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not add me to you address book as it is very insecure, and I hate receiving viruses. If I am part of your address book please remove me. Thank you. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Reinhardt Community Internet Access Inc Technical Support Voice: 1-505-863-2424 Fax: 1-505-722-6640 Internet: http://www.cia-g.com Homepage: http://www.cia-g.com/~dan502 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aaron" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Debian-List" <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Sent: Friday, April 06, 2001 10:31 PM Subject: Installing Debian > I just recently bought a set of debian cd's and am now trying to install > debian on my pc.
