Hello Debian fans!
The sixth iso image of binary "woody" is being downloaded to my machine right now, but I'm still having plenty of questions concerning Debian installation and even pre-installation. Please point me to some doco or answer directly in mailing list:
First, you probably only need the first CD. I have only rearely heard of situations where anyone *requires* any of the other CDs. That is usually because they have special or strange hardware that will not boot the regular kernel on the first CD.
1) Is it true that Debian has limitation on partition size - 6 gigs? Or any other size limit?
Never heard of this. I believe that EXT3 and most filesystems nowadays have a limit of 2 terabytes, but there are workarounds for that.
2) Can I do all partitioning stuff from M$ Window$ (using Partition Magick) before installation?
Why. Just let the install program do it or use a good partitioning program like parted. (Unless you need to resize or move an NTFS partition).
3) Where can I ask some other newbie questions? Is this list the right place?
Yup. http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/ is also an excellent source of information about Linux in genereal. Also check out Debian's documentation page: http://www.debian.org/doc/
HTH,
-Roberto
