I am a first time installer of Debian Linux 2.0 with Win 98 on the computer. What to I enter when on the installation program so I can get Emacs, X etc. when installing from the Binary i386 CD I read:
Insert the CD Rom with the block device name: I enter: /dev/hda3, (have tried /dev/hda4 & /dev/hda5 with similar results) I get: Wrong FS type bad option and super block ON /dev/hda3 I am using a Pentium 2, 300 MHz, 64 Mb ram, 6.4 Gb HD and an IDE CD-Rom on the secondary (primary) IDE port. Again, What to I enter when on program installation I read: Insert the CD Rom with the block device name: -------------------------- Each physical drive gets its own device, for instance: your first HD /dev/hda /dev/hda1 = first partition /dev/hda2 = second partition your second HD or CDROM /dev/hdb if your second hd is a cdrom there is only one partition. Thus there is numberes following the drive. I hope that this helps -- 0 0 L & R Associates " Home Page: http://www.netaxs.com/~ldc/ _______ooO ~ Ooo_______________________________________________ LeRoy D.
