Kapetanios" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: more trouble with deleted root partition please help !!!!! I have manage to salvage a minimal system after accidentally deleting my root partitioon. I tried to install debian stable but it did not work. I did floppy disk installation butfloppy relaiobility does not seem to be the problem. Let me explain why I have the debian disks on an unharmed partiotin which I can access. However the file base2.0_... produces an errror on my system it goes away too fast to read it. Obviously the same error appear with floppies even when I re-downloaded the floppies from the net. I am using july 21 1998 floppies is there a problem with thith those ? Anyway I installed a debian 1.0 ( yes !!) from some old floppies The installation went ok. I have the distribution in a another partiton and I tried to use dselect but the Package file had a problem and dpkg does not work. I can solve the problem only if I could run program from my /usr partiton which I can access This is the second problem I can see the binary I can cat the binary but I can't run it # /usr/bin/less /usr/bin/less: No such file or dicrectory Any ideas ?
