I am installing Debian 2.1 cdroms, first go at Linux or unix, on an AMD K6 200, on a second 2Gig HDD. The machine has win 98 on a 6gig Hard disk.
After dealing with network options in the installation I created a Boot Floppy and used it to reboot. This took an unusually long time. Is that usual? 8 or 10 minutes? I was pleased that it did boot! It then wanted to set the root pw, and a usr login & password. Did that. Next, select packages... I chose to do the custom package and ticked various boxes. But then I could not get to <OK> or <cancel> boxes on the bottom of the screen which sat there, red, inviting, but unable to be clicked! I tried the querty keyboard, one key at a time but It was hung and I rebooted. After the long reboot I logged in as root & went to dselect without the package selected in bootstrap. dselect is now mocking my intelligence, but that is another story. I will choose it all from there or is there some point in going back into bootstrap?
