Installation

[Menno Scholten]

Hello there, I have a major problem with the installation of Debian. I already have Windows as OS but I wanted to have Linux as well. So I downloaded the basic files for installation. My harddisk has already 2 partitions, so I tried to install it on D:\. Next I executed the installation program. Everything went as planned, except that I don't now how to partion D:\ again so that I can use one partition as swap disk (my first question).I solved this problem by not using a swap disk at all ( I have 32 MB of RAM). But I sure like to use a swap disk. Anyway here is my major problem: the installation program asks me for resc1440.bin wich is at my C:\ directory. How do I tell the installation program that it is there? It first was stored at D:\ but after mounting Linux on it all the files were erased ( this was no suprise I knew this would happen, so I made backups ). I haven't got any ideas any more, I tried everything I know. Copying resc1440.bin to A:\ is no sollution because it doesn't fit on a HD-disk, and this problem also occurs with Base 2 0. I've also tried telling Debian that it was at hda2 but it didn't work. The last problem (for now) is the boot-disk. The program format's a regular HD-disk but at the end it says that the disk is write-protected. The porblem is that the disk is NOT write protected. This problem occurs with all my disks. If hope you can help me because I'm really desperate ( I almost threw my PC out of the window). Menno Scholten. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
