I have a spare computer in my office that I'd like to install potato on. It has three hard disks of 1GB, 1GB, and 420MB as /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, and /dev/hdc. I have a 3c509b elan card in the machine so I can connect it to the www via the corportate lan and firewall. (I already have a machine running slink which can be updated via apt/dselect through the firewall). I will set up this new computer for dhcp to obtain it's ip address from the local server.
Am I correct that I will have to install (enough of) the base system via floppies before I will be able to use apt/deselct to install the rest of the system? I do NOT want to first install slink and upgrade (guess I'm testing your boot floppies for you) or to first burn a CD rom. I want to try to install TOTALLY over the web. PS. The target machine is a P90 with 32mb of dram. It also has an AHA15xx scsi controller, and both scsi and ide cd rom drives. Thanks for any help. ===== Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or ..... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
