Hi everyone. I am a very new Linux enthusiast, and I am trying to intall it for the first time in a modest second copmuter of mine.
I downloaded the disk images of Debian Linux 2.0 and I am installing it from the floppy to my modest system (a test/2nd system: Intel 386-25, math coprocessor, herc mono video, 8MB RAM, 80 MB HD & 40 MB HD, both IDE). (I want to learn and experiment in this modest system before I install it on my pentium II). Problem: I am able to boot from the Rescue disk and start the start the intall process. when it gets to the "Partition a Hard Disk" menu and I select either dev/hda or dev/hdb, it doesnt do anything. it quickly displays "segmentation fault" and returns to the "Partition a Hard Disk" menu. What is going on? dev/hda is a IDE drive, MS dos formated, 1 partition dev/hdb is also IDE, not formated, and DOS Fdisk-ed into 2 partitions (1 for swap, the other for Linux). I appreciate any help regarding this problem, and any other sugestion you might have about me experimenting with Linux. Thank you. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ps: can I run Xfree86 in my modest system?
