Booting the Debian squeeze netinst ISO under qemu from http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.0/i386/iso-cd/debian-6.0.0-i386-netinst.iso ... the first boot screen reads: debian The Universal Operating System Installer boot menu Install Graphical install Advanced options Help The default selection is "Install" (the text installer). On booting the installer and proceeding to the root password prompt, switching to virtual console #2 (<alt>-<F2>), I find fdisk in /usr/sbin. As my good friend HAL notes: "Well, I don't think there is any question about it. It can only be attributable to human error. This sort of thing has cropped up before and it has always been due to human error." http://www.palantir.net/2001/tma1/wav/error.wav Either you're not using the Debian Squeeze installer, or you're not using it correctly. -- Dr. Ed Morbius, Chief Scientist / | Robot Wrangler / Staff Psychologist | When you seek unlimited power Krell Power Systems Unlimited | Go to Krell! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
