Im a new user thats just moved from Redhat. I have downloaded the sid i386 binary 1 disc.
I am having a problem that the installer cannot find: basedebs.tgz >From searching the web and the mailing lists I have found out that the basedebs.tgz file is not meant to exist on the cd. or else it wants dists/woody/binary-i386/Release which is not on my cd i think as I downloaded the sid iso image. I would tell the installer to get the files from a ftp server but my network card wont work in the installer. The module loads but the dhcp fails and configuring manually didnt help either. I have tried downloaing the files onto a windows partition but when it is mounted there are no long filenames. also the same thing when I put them on cd. I have also tried making a basedebs.tgz file but the install errors on extracting it (probably because I made it in windows). Should the files that are needed for the base system be on the binary disc 1 cd? Could anyone help? ~Mike ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo!
