Comments/Problems:
Originally tried using the rc2 netboot image, but had a problem
loading installer modules (same as this bug report:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/03/msg00103.html). Tried
again using the Working version, everything seemed to go smoothly, no
roadbumps at all.
Previously I have installed Debian 3.0r1 off CD onto a pretty old
Pentium multiple times, so this installer was new to me. In particular
I got a little bit confused / concerned at the partitioning stage,
because I wasn't familiar with the icons used to represent things like
the bootable primary partition, and all those white smiley faces
against the Linux partitions. I managed to find the explanations for
all of this in a screen linked to from the top of that page. However,
I found that the installer had marked the linux root parition
/dev/hda3 as bootable - I was a bit worried since I had just made the
/dev/hda1 NTFS partition bootable prior to this and wasn't sure why
this change was being made. I had backups though so went ahead and
trusted the installer - at the next step the Windows XP installation
was correctly detected, and GRUB set everything up, and so I didn't
have anything to worry about. But when filling out this report I see
my fdisk -ls is showing that /dev/hda1 is bootable again. Confused,
but at least everything is working.
Otherwise, good job!!
