hello,
I have to repartition my disk (completely) and have potato system
there now, but would just like to install it directly this time since
upgrading from slink did not go very well the first time.
I downloaded the boot floppy and root disk and the base2_2.tgz files
et al, I intend to install the base though nfs, however when I
configured the network in dbootstrap it failed to initialize my NIC,
ok so they did not include a driver for it, I so i recompile a new
kernel with the appropriate options and install it on the floppy,
everything seems to work, except now dbootstrap wants to have
drivers-2.2.13.tgz and resc1440-2.2.13.bin instead of drivers.tgz and
resc1440.bin (I did run the rdev.sh script btw)
is this just because I used a 2.2.13 kernel instead of 2.2.12? I
don't see why this would matter... would renaming the files be an
acceptable solution?
if I missed a piece of documentation somewhere please point me in
that direction :)
also will it work to restore my current /var/cache/apt/ with the one
i have now to save downloading packages that are there now?
thanks
Best Regards,
Ethan Benson
