I recently installed Debian 1.3 and have a few questions. I boot to DOS and use loadlin to boot Linux. Linux begins its startup and continues fine (although I do see some notes about no PCI Bios not being present..how do I skip that check?). Linux mounts my local file systems fine, then I get the 'mounting remote file systems...' and it just hangs, until I tried ctrl-c, which continues the bootup. What is causing this? When going through the modules phase of installation, I am not choosing anything extra? The only options I selected in that section were for serial and parallel ports.
On another note, I would like to get sound working. I have a generic SB compatible. Can support for this be added during initial installation? If not, what is the easiest way? And finally, on a 'perfect' installation, would the bootup process display no errors at all? I mean, can whatever is causing the above PCI Bios messages to appear be removed without any harm? Larry Walewski p.s. I'm looking to get a good Linux book and was wondering if anyone has seen/used the Walnut Creek 'Linux The Complete Reference' that is some 1600+ pages? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
