I just installed Debian Linux v1.2.0 for the first time and im having some
problems.
I have a 486dx2/66 16 MB RAM, 540 HD. Linux partition about 200 MB and
Linux Swap partition 16 MB.
I have to boot off of my rescue disk because my lilo wont work. When i try
to go to
the Boot of the Hard Disk option it gives me this error:
sbin/dinstall: cannot creat /target/etc/lilo.cong: directory
nonexistent
How do i fix this? I dont know many commands. Also when i boot off of my
rescue
disk (its the only way i can get in unless i set my Linux partition as
bootable but i
need access to my win95) it loads up hundreds of drivers that dont work.
Several
for each thing...like 5 for the CD ROM but none of them work, is this
normal? Even
when my linux was booting off of the hard drive it did this. It took over
3 minutes to
load.
Another problem:
I can't install any packages because I cant mount my CD-ROM. I tried:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /cdrom/ ( and many others)
but they still will not work. I get this error EVERY time:
mount: /dev/hdd is not a valid block device
I get the same error when im in dselect trying to configure the CD ROM.
Thank you,
Chris Trantau
