Greetings:
I have just received a Dell Inspiron 530N pre-installed with Ubuntu.
I am now trying to figure out how to install debian on it. When I try
to boot my Debian LiveCD (20070716-07:09) I am getting an error
message similar to :
*"can't access tty; job control turned off"
*does anyone have a clue what this means?
Any help you can give me I would appreciate.
Thanks
Mike
I don't know your answer, however there is a Dell mailing list that is
just about Linux on Dell (Dell supported, not Debian).
http://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-desktops
You might want to subscribe and post there. Debian is very popular on
Dell laptops, as is (of course) Ubuntu. They also have Ubuntu scripts
to keep your bios updated.
I don't know why you want to install Debian on this box, however, you
might want to consider keeping Ubuntu installed, as Dell certifies it
works with it. What ever Ubuntu does, Debian can do and of course, vise
versa. Linux is Linux and those two are close relatives.
You stand a very good chance of THE Linux Architect for Dell to respond
to you.
HTH.
