Hi Net, (thanks for the help with nfs.o)
here is the next problem: I started dselect in order to install various packages after I had the base system running. I reached the nfs server, selected gcc-2.7.2 amongst others, resolved the occasional conflict, and started install... But the first package fails already: (again quoted by heart) gcc-2.7.2-8 could not be installed (depends on binutils-2.6-2 which is not installed) installation script returned error status... (abort|retry|ignore) Needless to say, binutils *is* installed (at least it is selected for installation). When I tried it once more I got the cryptic message: internal error at -e line 12 <P> chunk 16 advthanksance Heiko PS: I am slowly approaching the point where I expect a "general protection violation(TM)" from Debian. I consider this a bad sign. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heiko Selber (Fritz-Haber-Institut Berlin) | Vs lbh pna ernq guvf | http://www.fhi-berlin.mpg.de/~selber | lbh unir jnfgrq lbhe gvzr. | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Urvxb Fryore | Phone:+49-30-8413-4574, Fax:+49-30-8413-4686 |____________________________|
