I'm evaluating Debian as the possible Linux distro to ship on a SBC/PC104 product. So, I've been trying to install 2.2r5 on an old 486 machine with 28M of RAM and 265M of disk space. It's not going well...
I do rescue/boot/drivers from floppies, then base via network. I add packages for the "C development" task, since I need to compile an extra driver module. Everything _seems_ to go smoothly, and it tells me the install is done. I log in as root, and run dselect. I scroll through the packages selection list without changing anything. When I do the "Install" step, it always wants to install a whole bunch of packages (71 to be exact) including such disk-hogs as emacs. I never selected any of those packages for installation. Why does dselect want to install them? I've reinstalled twice from scratch, and it has done the same thing every time. -- Grant Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
