Hi, I'm having trouble getting Debian 2.0 to install from a hard disk partition (the PC in question doesn't have a CD drive :-()
I downloaded all the stuff I needed (according to install.html) from ftp.debian.org, and put it on my HD (DOS drive D:, subdirectory \debian) Then I started the install process. Great, no problems (I allocated pre-existing Linux swap and root partitions to the Debian setup) - until I came to "Install the base system". I said "from hard disk", told it where, got the loading message. Then the install program came back, said it what checking what I had to do next, then told me the next step was to install the base system (again!) I can't get past this step, no matter how often I redo it. "Configure the base system" won't work - it says I need to install it first. I checked the base2_0.tgz file - it untars fine on DOS, and it's exactly the same size as the one on the FTP site (no accidental ASCII downloads...) Can anyone help? Paul Moore.
